E.ON UK responds to the Government's decision to remove gas standing charges
Commenting on the Chancellor's announcement that gas standing charges will be removed, CEO of E.ON UK Chris Norbury says:
“We welcome measures that have the potential to make energy cheaper for customers and can confirm that E.ON Next customers will see gas standing charges removed from their bills once the timings are confirmed by Government. It’s clear that people are struggling with rising energy bills and we must give them breathing space. The most effective and immediate way to do this is to provide targeted support to the people who need it most and cut bills by shifting policy costs into general taxation.
“But to sustainably lower bills, we must electrify heating and accelerate consumer flexibility through the deployment of batteries, so people can store energy when it’s cheaper and use it at more expensive times. That’s how we give people greater control while reducing network pressure and increasing energy security, and that’s how we make new energy work and ensure no one is left behind.”
