About 15% don't have gas for central heating and things, don't have a gas connection.
So they're different.
But basically, using that sort of household on what we call typical consumption, so that is...

We calculate what that consumption is and what the cost of delivering energy to that household should be.
And as I say, add a small profit element.
But we can go through the different elements.

And that is electricity and gas.
And that accounts for about ยฃ40 out of every ยฃ100 on your energy bill.
