Your Company
Energy Usage

  1. Please include your annual electricity usage in kWh - All UK utility suppliers must give this information on your bills.

    Be aware that if you are multiplying a quarterly bill by four to get this reading, your results will be inaccurate due to seasonal usage fluctuations.  If you do not have accurate data for the year please adjust accordingly.

  2. Please include your annual gas usage in kWh - All UK utility suppliers must give this information on your bills.

    Be aware that if you are multiplying a quarterly bill by four to get this reading, your results will be inaccurate due to seasonal usage fluctuations. If you do not have accurate data for the year please adjust accordingly.

    Should your gas supply be already offset by your utility provider under a "green" tariff please put a "zero" in this section.

    Please include annual consumption of fuel oil used in litres.
