What looks unusual
Prototype anomaly checks
Estimated reading used
No actual meter reading has been recorded for 3 months, so this bill is based on an estimate. This may need checking.
Unexpected unit-rate change
Your electricity unit rate moved from 25.9 to 27.4 p/kWh mid-period without a tariff change on file. This may need checking.
Standing-charge increase
Your daily standing charge rose by 4.1p from the previous bill. This may need checking.
What you should do
Recommended actions from Aunty Sarah
Confidence and data quality
Because this bill uses an estimated reading, usage-based figures are less certain. Submitting an actual reading will raise confidence to High.
