How will my gas consumption be measured?
Your gas consumption will be calculated in joules which is the basic unit of energy used in the gas industry.
1 megajoule (MJ) = 1 million joules.
1 gigajoule (GJ) = 1000 megajoules.
The meter on your property will measure the flow of gas from the main pipeline in the street into your business.
Your gas account will show your gas consumption in MJs.
