The charges vary by region and supplier, but there is a cap. Most go with the cap.

The more than doubling most of us are seeing with the electricity SCs are to cover the chancer suppliers going bust - Bulb etc. - and the likes of EoN, EDF, Scot Power having to take on their equally 'chancer' customers.

Why us regular users have to pick up the tab is beyond me.

It's similar to the £16 levy we all face to cover the debts of those who can't or will not pay.

Why Yorkshire, which is nearer the 'free' electricity from windmills and the gas fields pays more is a mystery.

I made the point about Bulb etc in my email.
