Estimated Annual Bill (EAB)

The Commission for Regulation of Utilities (CRU) requires all electricity and gas suppliers to set out an “Estimated Annual Bill” figure for each of their offers. This figure indicates an estimated annual bill for that particular offer. It is based on CRU published average annual consumption figures and suppliers then apply their own price plans to calculate the EAB.
