How to use the result
If the fixed charge is correct but the total bill is still high, the problem is usually usage, billed days, unit rate, estimates or direct debit logic. Do not challenge standing charge alone unless the daily rate, region or billed days look wrong.

What is a standing charge?
It is the fixed daily amount on an energy bill, separate from usage measured in kWh.
Why does standing charge matter?
