A variety of energy tariffs are available with British Gas, such as:
Your rates stay the same for the duration of your energy contract. This makes it easier to budget as your bills are more predictable.
The unit price of energy can vary depending on the wholesale market. This means that your energy costs may rise or fall.
These bundle your gas and electricity into one monthly package and payment. They’re typically available as fixed-rate or standard variable energy deals.
With this option, you pay upfront for the energy you consume, so you decide what you want to pay each month. Your supply will be cut off when your credit runs out.
Charge your EV overnight at a lower rate than the standard energy unit rate. A smart meter is needed.
