No Gas Supply

I have no gas supply and the nearest mains is about 3 to 4 miles away.
Centrica or whovere it is carried out a survey a few years ago and claimed that not enough signed up so would not extend the mains.
I feel a bit miffed as all the best deals on enegy involve dual fuel.
I wondered if this was actually some form of discrimination or if there is a loophole that i can use to force the companies to give me my electricity at the dual fuel rate.
Any body else think this way.

In general, discrimination has to be due to a 'protected charecteristic' - sexual orientation, race, disability.
It is perfectly legal to discriminate against people with purple doors, or who are left handed.
You may want to consider organising a local drive to see if you can get enough signatures.
Other than that - economy 7, plus storage heaters.0 -
If it was Centrica or british gas then that would have been quite a few years back, may be worth contacting the appropriate gas network for the area to see if any plans to bring gas to your area in the forseeable future.I am responsible me, myself and I alone I am not the keeper others thoughts and words.0
