Electricity1. For single rate credit meters, Tier 1 rate applies to the first 125 kWh per quarter and all subsequent consumption is charged at Tier 2. For prepayment meters, the Standing Charge prices apply - a daily charge applies and all consumption is charged at Tier 2 rates.
2. For two rate meters, the two rate prices apply. For two rate credit meters, Tier 1 day rate applies to the first 125 kWh per quarter of day consumption and all subsequent consumption is charged at Tier 2. For prepayment meter types a daily charge applies and all consumption is charged at either Tier 2 or Night rates. Night means a period, or periods, determined by us (and as may be varied from time to time), totalling 7 hours (at present between 22:00 hours and 08:00 hours) and the night rate applies accordingly.
3. A dual fuel discount is given where British Gas supplies both gas and electricity to the same property (and the accounts are in the same names). No dual fuel discount is available to customers with token or smartcard electricity meters. Only one dual fuel discount per property. Where electricity is supplied through a credit meter, a discount of 0.537 p/kWh off quarterly electricity Tier 2 rates (and night rates where applicable) up to a maximum of £3.75 (including VAT) per quarter appears on the electricity bill. Where electricity is supplied through an electricity key meter, British Gas must be supplying both gas and electricity to the property on 31 August in each year. The dual fuel discount is up to £15 per annum (inc VAT). A pro-rated amount will be calculated based on the number of consecutive days in an unbroken period in the calendar year up to and including 31 August that British Gas supplied both gas and electricity to the property. This amount will be credited to the electricity meter within the three months following 31 August.
4. For customers paying by magnetic payment card, an additional charge of 2.000 p/kWh will be applied to Tier 1 prices up to a maximum of £2.50 per quarter (inc VAT).
