And yet our Gas comes from an interconnector on the UK/Ireland pipeline. It's not like we have our own, particularly rare and expensive type of Gas. In fact, the only thing that makes it that expensive is the involvement and interaction of the MUA and MG. So perhaps people need to be seeing some figures from both MG and IoMG explaining the huge disparity? 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remind him to tell us why we're paying our "Toilet Tax" Sewage Charge too. Hamstrung by the MEA antics coupled with the current situation ....... a perfect storm !

Gas prices have been volatile, but one thing's for sure Manx gas are making at least 5% profit guaranteed by government Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Non-Believer Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 I just pulled this shot off FB, the shown poster had posted it in a discussion about Gas prices. It purports to show recent years turnover for Ancala LLP, though what contribution MG makes to this is unclear. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But we can't keep blaming Manx Gas for working to a contract even if its in their favour. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it was a formula based upon the wholesale price. Its been discussed on here many times. Didn't our resident stato @Roger Mexico explain it once. Whatever the formula, if they can only put it up 44% I'd say we were doing pretty well out of it.
