How are gas tariffs calculated?

All SSE Airtricity Energy Solutions gas customers are charged based on their kilowatt hour (kWh) consumption, as well as a daily standing charge. These tariffs are made up of the elements listed below, with Value Added Tax (VAT) and the Government-mandated Carbon Tax listed separately on customer invoices.

Higher-usage customers (Gas Band Y, Z, Daily Metered and Large Daily Metered based on the Supply Point Capacity (SPC)) are also charged a pass-through ‘capacity element’ on their invoice to ensure availability of contracted maximum capacity. All tariffs vary based on a customer’s gas band as determined by Gas Networks Ireland.
