Gas rates and charges
How will my gas consumption be measured?
Your gas consumption will be calculated in joules – 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 home.
Your gas account will show your gas consumption in MJs.
