Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action
Engagement with the Commission for Regulation of Utilities
Ms Karen Trant:
We are aware that issues have been raised around the standing charge. We do not have the legal remit to investigate the standing charge. We can ask for information. Any review of the standing charge or the commodity price would effectively be price regulation, but we do not have that remit. We would only do that in the best interests of the consumer, but we do not have the legislative ability to do that right now.
