BG Pre Payment Meter Question

chrisb1357

Hi all,

Just topped up my Gas Meter today which is on BG and noticed it said on Screen 01 'Last For Debt £0.01'. Can anyone tell me what this means or what its for. I know its only that amount LOL but just instrested why it said that this week and its never said that any other times

Firstly I assume that you have no debt?

Have you been in emergency credit, or down to zero credit?

The meter is programmed to charge the two tiers, but not in the easiest to understand way, but over a quarter you need to pay for 670 kWh at the higher price.
If you go into emergency, then it only charges at the lower price (to make it last longer), then recovers any difference when you next top up - 1p equates to less than 1kWh (don't have the T1 & T2 prices to hand).

Sometimes this recalibration can be seen at 2am in the morning and takes ~30p (again, depending on the difference between T1 & T2).

If you don't use any gas for 1 day, then even though you have used no more gas, you now need to have used 1 days more Tier 1 than before to be on target for the quarter.

Have I confused you now?
