The Fuel Mix

We believe we have a responsibility to help you make informed decisions about the use of our products and services.

All suppliers, including British Gas Business, are required to provide information about the mix of fuels used to generate the electricity supplied to their customers as well as its environmental impact. Known as the Fuel Mix Disclosure, we must publish this information annually. The table below shows the Centrica Fuel Mix Disclosure for the period 1 April 2010 to 31 March 2011.
