Where a dual fuel account exists, then the designation of the electricity data brings in the data related to gas. This can be explicitly seen in the CDS EnergyPlan schema and EnergyPlanDetailV2 schema, where a DUAL type results in a mandatory electricity contract and a mandatory gas contract.
For an account that has both gas and electricity services offered, the invoicing and billing data for the account should be provided without alteration. A combined gas and electricity balance should be presented as is, and invoices and transactions should contain all charges and payments, even those specifically for gas usage.
Faux dual fuel accounts can be treated differently. If the plan is dual fuel, but a separate balance is maintained for gas, and separate invoices are delivered for gas and electricity, then the gas charges, balance and invoicing can be reasonably excluded if only electricity information is requested.
This is general guidance only and retailers are encouraged to use their best judgement in determining exactly how to handle dual fuel accounts in the context of their existing systems.
