    Why does the standing charge need to go up when the price of fuel rises?

    Isn't that like the road fund licence going up because fuel price has increased?

    OFGEM (or whoever it is these days) impose a price cap on both the unit rate and the standing charge. When they raised both recently, most suppliers immediately raised their standard tariffs to the new limit for both rate and standing. It's an economic decision rather than a necessarily fair one.
