Why was this petition rejected?

It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.

At the moment, this would be a decision for energy companies to make. You could start a new petition asking Parliament to change the law to ban daily standing charges, if that's what you want to happen.

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
