The tariffs below are based on my own most recent bills.

Electricity Allowance (website and hard copy of SW107 the same)
The Electricity Allowance covers normal standing charges and up to 2,400 units of electricity each year.
Natural Gas Allowance (extract from website)
It covers normal standing or supply charges and a certain amount of natural gas kilowatt hours each year. The amount varies depending on the tariff.
Natural Gas Allowance (extract from hard copy of SW107 dated march 2007)
It covers normal standing or supply charges and kilowatt hours up to a value of €55.34 during the summer billing periods and €108 during the winter billing periods. The total value of the Gas Allowance is €490 per year.
Therefore, (based on the tariffs and standing charges I have to hand):
ESB
Standing Charge Allowance = €0.252*365
Units Allowance = €0.1435*2400
Total = €436.38
Bord Gáis
Standing Charge Allowance = €0.137*365
Usage Allowance = €55.34*3 + €108*3
Total = €540.03 (subject to a ceiling)
