Detailed information about the fuels used to generate electricity

All suppliers, including British Gas, 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.
