Energy firms to offer ‘no standing charge’ tariffs and struggling customers to get debts wiped in huge shake-up

MILLIONS of energy customers will get access to ‘no standing charge’ tariffs under new plans revealed by Ofgem today.

The energy regulator is also planning to launch new support for customers struggling with debt.

As part of its plans, there could be a new scheme that means some customers could have their debts wiped or have repayments matched to help them clear their arrears.
