These bills represent a weighted average of payment methods. Prior to 2007 a weighted average bill is not available therefore the gas and electricity bills by standard credit payment method have been used for 1996 to 2007. Annual bill estimates for 2013 will be published in December's edition of QEP on 19 December 2013.</p> |
