EconomyJohn Healey to end fixed gas-bill charges for 23 million homes

Chancellor John Healey said he will ask Great Britain’s energy regulator, Ofgem, to remove daily standing charges from gas bills in 2027 or as soon as possible after. He says the change could save about two-thirds of households an average of £45 a year; the typical household currently pays £108 annually in standing charges.
