What to find first
- The amount due and the period it covers.
- Your provider's name and the type of offer (fixed or variable price).
- The PDR code, which identifies your gas delivery point.
- Your usage, in Smc (standard cubic metres).
What the cost is made of
- Natural gas: the gas you use, plus the provider's fixed fees. This is the part that changes from one offer to another.
- Transport and meter management: network costs, regulated and the same for every provider.
- System charges: general costs of the gas system, regulated.
- Taxes: excise duty, surcharges and VAT.
What to really compare
The lines your provider decides are the gas price (euros per Smc) and the monthly fixed fee. The others are the same for everyone.
Fixed or variable price
With a fixed price the gas cost stays as in the contract for the stated period; with a variable one it follows the market. Always check duration, lock-ins and exit penalties.
