IGT
IGT: If you live in a new build home, the chances are that you are paying an additional charge on your gas bill to an IGT company.
This is down to the builders saving money on the installation of the gas pipes running to your property.
An IGT will charge less than the regional network operator such as Transco or SGN. Instead they will make their money by charging the householder a rental fee, which is included in your bill.
When you get an online quote for your gas charges, the IGT is not taken into consideration.
You should bear this in mind, as in most cases it would add around an extra £40 per year on your gas bill.
If you have an IGT, the charge should be displayed on your bill.
If you have not yet received a bill, you should have the MPRN Meter Point Reference Number
This number may be attached to a label on your gas meter.
Or the name of the gas transporter will be displayed on the gas meter
If your MPRN is between the numbers 74400001 to 75510000 then you have an IGT
If you have recently moved in and not changed energy supplier, you are most likely paying standard energy prices.
It would be a good idea to get a quote for an online tariff

Your default tariff is called STANDARD ENERGY. If you are on this tariff, you will be able to get your share of the unclaimed discounts. These discounts are only available to People who take action themselves.

IGT’s are one of the biggest scams in this country. As yet they havent been challeged by the public. But their day will come as more people move into homes that have gas supplied via an IGT. They dont even show up on Comparision sites and thats another scam. no wonder people are in fuel poverty.
Thanks for your comment Brent.
I can understand your frustration. It does seem a bit unfair, and the fact is, most People who are paying an IGT charge don’t even know they are paying an extra charge!
I think igt,s are a complete ripoff as the companys that install the pipes recieve a fee from the builders for installing the pipes and they are just being greedy wanting to charge each house roughly £30.00- £50.00 each year for recieving gas through there pipes, why dont they settle for a one off payment and leave it at that, and i can say that there is alot of people on my new estate which is fernwood nr newark notts that know nothing about ripoff on there bills. hopefully somebody will stand up to them one day.
I couldn’t agree more. A few of the big 6 energy suppliers are now absorbing these charges. At this time, I believe npower and e.on are the only suppliers still incorporating the IGT charge into your gas bill.
