Energy Bills Explained
How is my energy usage calculated?
Units of gas and electricity are measured in kilowatt hours (kW/h). Your gas meter will either display your consumption in cubic metres (m3) or cubic feet (ft3) and your energy company will then convert your usage to kilowatt hours. Your electricity meter usually measures your consumption in terms of kilowatt hours.
Energy suppliers often use a two tier pricing structure, which means that you'll pay more for the first units of energy you use (tier 1) and then less for the rest (tier 2). Two tier pricing structures almost always exist where there is no standing charge.
What is a standing charge?
The standing charge is a fixed fee made by your energy supplier for each day you are connected to the gas and/or electricity network. It pays for maintaining your supply. Not all energy plans include a standing charge however they may charge more per unit to compensate.
What is dual fuel?
'Dual fuel' simply means that your gas and electricity is provided by the same energy supplier. As discounts or reduced rates are available for dual fuel agreements, they normally work out cheaper than single fuel agreements with different suppliers - but always compare.
