:00:16. > :00:20.From next month, prices will rise by 2.9% for all customers.
:00:21. > :00:23.Guernsey and Jersey Gas say the company's had a difficult fdw years
:00:24. > :00:27.with fewer people using gas, and it appears warmer weather is to blame.
:00:28. > :00:46.A milder winter and sunny spring means we have been using less gas to
:00:47. > :00:54.cook and heat our homes. Thhs means that earns a and Jersey Gas have not
:00:55. > :01:00.made enough money. Recently, the company has underperformed
:01:01. > :01:04.financially. This is due to out beat being down and consumption being
:01:05. > :01:08.down. This is brought about by the below average warmer weather that we
:01:09. > :01:13.are experiencing in the Channel Islands. This small increasd will go
:01:14. > :01:16.some way to returning as to the acceptable level of income that we
:01:17. > :01:21.require so that we can conthnue with investment into our infrastructure
:01:22. > :01:26.and provide a quality and rdliable service for our customers. Gas

:01:32. > :01:38.That equates to just over 10p every day. In Jersey, GST is also added to
:01:39. > :01:43.that figure on your bill, where it is not in Guernsey. Some people say
:01:44. > :01:49.that needs to change. Some of the things that should be getting done
:01:50. > :01:57.is looking at whether GST should apply on fuel. Certainly, it has
:01:58. > :02:01.always been said that that `ffect consumers. With the goods and
:02:02. > :02:07.services tax not yet ruled out for Guernsey, a word of warning. If GST
:02:08. > :02:12.or an equivalent is introduced in Guernsey, then the states should
:02:13. > :02:19.think very carefully about introducing GST on the necessities
:02:20. > :02:24.of life, such as food and ftel. These gas increases will cole at a
:02:25. > :02:28.force `` into force on the 02th of September, but for consumers it
:02:29. > :02:30.really is a Catch`22. A milder winter means they use less gas, but
