The journey

Four steps, full gas charge picture

From an MPRN and postcode to a per-charge forecast with year-on-year change.

1

Enter your MPRN and Annual Quantity

Type the MPRN and site postcode, enter the Annual Quantity from your supplier statement, then pick the forecast year. SOQ is derived automatically from AQ and the LDZ Peak Load Factor, or you can enter a registered value.

Identify

Decode the MPRN and classify the site

The postcode resolves to a GDN, LDZ and Exit Zone. AQ determines the band (small, medium or large) and the Xoserve Peak Load Factor is applied to derive SOQ. Customer type and read frequency are inferred from AQ and MPRN prefix, and are editable via the Site Profile card.
