Gas licensing terms

Companies entering the domestic gas market will pay one-off licence fees of up to pounds 3,000 plus an annual sum of up to pounds 4,000 in addition to a fee for each site supplied, according to a consultative document published by the Government yesterday. But the proposals favour smaller firms supplying up to 10,000 sites, which will pay a much smaller amount. Tim Eggar, Minister for Industry and Energy, said: that independent suppliers expected to cut pounds 30 off the average bill of pounds 300."
