Scottish Hydro Electric - Gas + Electric Bill for 3mths £340.33?

I have just recently received quarterly bills for gas and electric.

Can someone have a look at the charges to see if im on a good tarrif as i have no idea.

My gas tariff is general saver, I used 693 units of gas. The units converted to kilowatt hours was 7836.58.

I was charged £168.49 for the units + standing charge of 11.4p for 91days which = £10.37 - 0.59p for prompt previous payment

Gas = £178.27 + vat = £186.80

Electric, i am on domestic standard tariff and i used 1476 units.

1476units at 9.05p = £133.57 + Standing charge for 91 days at 16.24p = £14.78 - £1.83 for prompt previous payment

Electric = £146.52 + vat = £153.53

Total = £340.33


Does this seem reasonable? It doesn't seem like im getting any dual fuel benefits or discounts?

  • Hi Mitchaa

    Which area are you in for your Electricity as the rate varies? The first 2 numbers on the bottom line of your MPAN on the bill will tell you if you are not sure.

    What does the Electricity MPAN or Supply Number mean?

    MPAN stands for Metering Point Administration Number. It provides a unique identity reference number for the meter and provides other information as follows:

    How can I tell what Region my meter is in?

    If you look at the grid above, you can see the first box on the second line is called "Distributor Identifier". The numbers in this box identify the Region you are in as follows:
    10 Eastern Electricity
    17 Scottish Hydro Electric
    11 East Midlands
    18 Scottish Power
    12 London Electricity
    19 Seeboard
    13 Manweb
    20 Southern Electric
    14 Midlands Electric
    21 Swalec
    15 Northern Electric
    22 SWEB
    16 Norweb
    23 Yorkshire Electricity

    as that is the bill for winter 1/4 if its multiplied by 3 that gives a good idea of a 12 monthly figure = £1,020 (thats about £85 per month as an average)

    its difficult to compare precisly as I dont know exactly how many K/w we use but i pay
    £21 gas
    £19 electric
    £40 per month

    £480 per year - we have a 3 bed semi - 2 adults and due to shifts 1 of use is in the house most of the time
