British Gas

Getting Started

Connect your British Gas tariff so Joule Genie can calculate your energy costs and optimise battery charging around your rates.

Step 1: Find Your Unit Rate

Log in to your British Gas online account or check a recent electricity bill. Look for the unit rate (in pence per kWh, including VAT). This is usually listed under "Your tariff" or "Tariff details". If you export solar power and have a Smart Export Guarantee (SEG) rate, note that too.

Step 2: Add the Integration

In Joule Genie, go to Settings > Integrations > Add Integration and select British Gas from the Tariff category. Enter your import unit rate in pence per kWh. If you have an export rate, enter that too — otherwise leave it blank.

Step 3: Verify

The dashboard will show your tariff rate on the rate chart. Since British Gas uses fixed rates, you'll see a flat line — this is correct. The optimiser will use this rate to calculate savings from solar self-consumption and battery shifting.

Updating Your Rate

If your British Gas tariff changes (e.g. the price cap changes or you switch tariff), update the rate in Settings > Integrations by editing the British Gas integration.
