Total Actual Current Gas Service Charges

GNG added up all of the Current Gas Service Charges above to calculate this amount.

Pre-Pay Credit (Previously Charged)

Your first bill - Because this is your first bill from GNG, this is the amount of your initially requested pre-payment. Subsequent bills - This is the estimated gas service charges from the previous bill. This amount appeared on your previous bill as line item Next Month’s Pre-Pay Estimate.

Actual Charges Less PrePay Credit (Previously Charged)

This is the difference between the estimated natural gas service charged upon initiating service and the actual natural gas service charges. If you were charged for more than you used, that amount is credited on this bill. If you used more than you were charged for, that amount is owed on this bill.

Next Month’s Pre-Pay Estimate

Your estimated natural gas service charges for the next 30 days.

Total Amount Due

This is the sum of the following line items on your bill - "Balance Brought Forward" plus "Actual Charges less Pre-Pay Credit (Previously Charged)" plus "Next Months PrePay Estimate." This amount must be paid in order to avoid interruption of your gas service.
