FAQs
YGP may bill some customers in advance using an advanced cost estimate. This advanced cost estimate is calculated based on your estimated annual energy consumption and contract prices agreed to by you on your contract with YGP.
We rely on our customers to provide meter readings regularly; we aim to communicate with your smart meter where possible. Half hourly customers will have their data generated and sent to us via the data collector each month.
Where an actual read is submitted, this is reflected in your bills. Otherwise, an estimate will be used. If you see an estimated read on your bill, please contact us to provide your latest read.
Where your meter is half-hourly, estimated consumption is normally indicative of an issue with the communication link between your meter and the data collector, which will be resolved as soon as possible.
YGP are currently only able to offer a monthly billing service.
If your contract was agreed with a Direct Debit discount and we cannot collect via Direct Debit, charges are incurred. However, it may be possible to switch your contract to a non-Direct Debit payment method. Please contact our customer services team to discuss your options.

The Climate Change Levy is a tax on UK business energy use, charged at the time of supply. The final recipient of supplies of electricity generated from certain renewable sources and combined heat and power (CHP) can obtain a tax exemption for generation before 1 August 2015.
This charge is a government levy and is a way of funding large scale projects in the energy industry, in this case, the Sizewell C nuclear project. It is part of the Nuclear Energy (Financing) Act 2022, which allows small costs to be passed to all consumers via their electricity supplier to fund projects aimed at reducing future energy costs.
The scheme is regulated by Ofgem and administered by the Low Carbon Contract Company (LCCC).

Authorised Supply Capacity (ASC) is the amount of agreed electricity that your local distribution network has reserved for your use at any time. It is measured in kilovolt-ampere (KVA) and appears on your bill as a Capacity Charge. Put simply, you rent this capacity and pay for every kVA that you are allocated on a monthly basis.
If you have never checked your ASC, it is worth us having a look to see if you need to adjust it. If you are under your allowance then you may need to lower it to save some money, equally if you are over your allowance, you will be paying excess fees and could save money by increasing it.
