Gas bills - Standard industry formula
The standard industry formula Octopus energy are using to calculate my gas bill is:
Units Consumed (Cubic Meters)
× Volume Correction (for temperature & pressure)
× Calorific Value (energy in each m3 of gas)
÷ 3.6 (convert from joules)
» Usage (in kWh)
Volume Correction (for temperature & pressure) = 1.02264
Calorific Value (energy in each m3 of gas) = 39.1
÷ 3.6 (convert from joules) = 3.6
Are the values for the above three the same as other providers?

Yes although the Calorific Value will vary by region and billing period (it is an average over that time period as the CV value is published on a daily basis)0
