Is it Centrica? the company that has reported massive profits?

The suppliers get charged for providing the infrastructure. The standing charge is separate so you can compare usage tariffs.
It's NOT Centrica, and even if it was, Centrica is the PARENT multinational company, so has several sources of income, including selling Oil and Gas(where they DON'T set the buying price).
Eg Western Power Distribution is the Electrical distributor for the Midlands, South Wales, and the South West. They will be the ones setting the distribution costs for those areas.
