The source does not provide the average gas switching time for September 2022.
The source notes that the data used was taken from distribution network operators and does therefore not include the time taken by a supplier in advance of a transfer, such as to process a contract, or as part of the cooling-off period.
Supply licenses require licensees to take all reasonable steps to complete a transfer 21 days after the end of the 14 day cooling-off period (or after an earlier date during the cooling-off if agreed with the customer).
