The boss of EDF’s customer arm in the UK has renewed calls for a social tariff that would give cheaper bills for struggling families as he announced measures to slash their standing charges.
Philippe Commaret said he would ensure that more than a quarter of a million of the homes his company supplies see their standing charges reduced to the levels they were at before the energy crisis hit. They will pay 56p per day in the first three months of next year as a result, not 87p.
