    I would say you have entered the wrong tariff or more likely entered the wrong Kwh figures.
    What figures did you enter?

    Mine too Panny - my spend is around £1200 but 2 websites quoted me £727 spend.
    Does it matter though? I'm thinking of capping anyway - so not much savings at the mo. Just future proofing.

    The gas consumption you input of 1,442 is NOT kWh.

    Depending on the type of gas meter you have, it is either approx 16,000kWh or 45,000kWh.

    Given your annual spend it is almost certainly a Metric meter, so enter 16,000kWh.
