'常规费用'对我的能源票据有什么意义？
每个能源提供商都有自己的模板和能源账单的布局。这意味着，虽然每个账单可能看起来略有不同，但通常它们都将包含相同的信息。这包括您支付或欠款的总结，并加上您是否处于信用卡或借记卡（您的帐户上的信用，当您提供过度补充和借记时，您在您的提供者提供更多资金并欠款时）。
Once you’ve been through the payment summary, the next couple of pages of your bill will summarise the tariff you’re on and how much gas and electricity you’ve used in the time since your last bill (usually one to three months) in kilowatt hours (kWh). It is at this point that you may see a fee known as a standing charge, but what exactly does this mean?
The standing fee is a daily charge that is added to your bill to cover the costs incurred by energy providers for keeping you connected to an energy supply, such as maintenance costs and the time it takes for meter readings to be taken if you don’t have a smart meter. Therefore, your bill will likely show the amount of kWh you’ve used and how much you pay per kWh, as well as the daily standing charge and how many days the bill covers. We’ve created a mock-up energy bill below so you can get an idea of where it might be located.
例如，上面的账单显示，在三个月内，您已经使用了776千瓦时的电力。每千瓦时18.03便士，您将欠139.91英镑。然后在此之上，您将欠每日支付费用。在上面的例子中，常规费用是每天21.56便士。因此，在94天的时间内，您将欠20.268英镑的支付费用，将您的总账单达到168.17英镑。无论您使用的能量如何，常规费用都保持不变。
英国电力的平均每日常规费用约为20便士，但您可以根据您的能量提供商从5P到60P到60P的任何费用。
