how much does one unit of gas cost in uk


The price of gas can vary from region to region in the U.K however the average is between 3.5p and 4.5p. The problem with this is that the gas companies don't make it clear enough that gas in the U.K is charged by calorific value. With electric your rate is say 12.8p per KWH which means that for every Kilowat you use in an hour you will pay 12.8p,with gas however you pay considerably more than 3.5-4.5p per hour,on average gas uses between 6-9 Kilowats per hour therefore the true cost is between 20-25p per hour.

Gas is charged by calorific value and 3.5 to 4.5 p will buy a kWh, exactly the same amount of energy as a kWh of electricity at 12.8p. So gas will produce 1 kW of heat for an hour for 3.5 to 4.5p and electricity will give 1 kW of heat for an hour as well, but for 12.8p. Flued gas appliances will loose some of the heat in the fuel. This is about 10% for the most efficient appliances and 20% onolderappliances.
