A new Island-wide gas tariff comes into force from 1st January next year.
It follows the completion of the two year natural gas conversion scheme and brings to an end a disparity in pricing for different types of gas.
Until now, gas bills have been a postcode lottery, with households in areas using LPG and 'towns' gas paying considerably more than those on natural gas.
The new tariff will bring the per-unit price of gas down for more than 9,000 households, but will mean a rise of more than 3 per cent for existing natural gas customers.
Manx Gas managing director Tony Nicholls says it's a levelling exercise which will help pay for the conversion project:

'Unnecessary' delays left electricity customer in limbo
Drone users reminded not to fly devices during Classic TT and Manx Grand Prix course closures
'The Island needs to be able to compete' against other destinations
Public urged to consult on capacity
