British Gas - anyone know their historical capped prices?
Looking for some help, I know I should have kept on top of this but now looking at gas bills for last year to make sure British Gas have charged me the correct amount. On one occasion my bill doesn't match the tariff that was announced (by email - April-June 2024) but seems like sometimes they have just included a link in the email which no longer works so I can't tell what my tariff should have been [edit - found this in subsequent email which also includes previous tariff but would be good to cross check with others], does anyone have a note of this or know where to find them online? I'm in [edit - Southern Scot] Scotland, I believe this is a single region with the same prices everywhere?
I've also noticed that the current tariff when I login and press tariff doesn't match what their website says here: Price Cap Predictions and Changes - British Gas (under "What are the current price cap rates?").
These are the numbers which were announced by email so *should* definitely be correct:
Was also wondering if there was a way to check against the cap as I believe each supplier is allowed to have slightly different capped prices as long as total price for some "standard" user ends up the same?
Thanks

Ofgem capped rates are available on their website going back to 2019.
But largely in their supplier format - so for gas table as sc and 12000 units + sc - both columns ex vat.
For last year or so regional formats Inc vat.

Thanks, tried comparing Ofgem numbers [in 'Final levelised cap rates model (Annex 9)'] with BG's and got very close, sometimes within a penny but about £1 for Jan-Apr 2025 (I think this is due to rounding).0
