    It should be as accurate as the meter readings. However, this is Scottish Power, so normal rules don't apply.

    Do you you have notes of the previous meter readings in a spreadsheet for example?
    Previous bills will have them.

    You will then know how accurate they are.

    Just look at two that are a year apart. Subtract one reading from the other and this will give a good indication of your annual consumption.

    What is the wording?

    Used this year, or annual usage, one will be based on reading with the other possible just a 3 year average they would use for quotes.
