Get Your Head Around Gas Prices

The cost of your gas depends on a few key factors. Like where you live, how much you use and the type of tariff (the way your supplier charges you for what you use). Gas usage is measured in kWh (kilowatt hours). Your bill’s calculated according to the rate per kWh plus a standing charge (applied per day regardless of what you use).

Types of Gas Tariffs

When looking at gas suppliers, there are a few kinds of gas tariffs available to consider. Each has their own merits, but it's important to know which suits you best.

Fixed 

When you’ve got a fixed-rate tariff, the gas cost-per-unit stays the same throughout your contract. It protects you against price rises but means you won’t benefit from price drops. 

Variable

With Standard Variable Rate tariffs (STVs), the cost-per-unit goes up and down according to the wholesale market price of gas. It’s what you’re moved to when a fixed rate ends and these days it’s very expensive. 

Pre-Paid

With a prepaid meter, you pay for your gas in advance with a token, card or app. Cost-per-unit can be dearer than with a standard meter, but it can make it easier to budget.
