    "Electricity only, direct debit. Gas is not split by region in the same way and is not in this table.",
    "These are the rates a default or standard variable tariff charges. When a fixed deal ends and nothing is done, this becomes the price.",
    "The cap caps the rates, not the bill. A household that uses more than typical pays more than the headline cap figure, and that is arithmetic rather than a fault."
