The read · computed from their figures
Centrica Energy Marketing Limited's H1 2020 filing put their average at 12 days against stated terms of 42 days; 11% of invoices were paid outside agreed terms and 5% took 61 days or longer. Filed 30 Jul 2020.
The direction is faster: from 19 days in H2 2018 to 12 now — 7 days faster across their last 4 reports.
That is 4 statutory periods on record (earliest H2 2018) — a historical record, not a promise for a new invoice.
In their own words · from the filing
Standard payment terms
We have standard payment terms of 42 days, but the procurement organisation allows for shorter payment terms for smaller suppliers during the contract negotiation process.
Dispute resolution
Any disputes the suppliers should contact their specific contact within Accounts Payable Group. The Accounts Payable team will consider the complaint and respond accordingly.
Other information
To prevent a delay in invoice processing, invoices must be clearly legible, comply with HMRC regulations and should include supplier details, purchase order number (if applicable) invoice number, invoice date and payment instructions, as well as the Centrica point of contact who requested the goods or services.

How often is this data updated?
Is this official government data?
How this is compiled. Built from official records only: Companies House and the gov.uk payment-practices service. The payment figures are self-reported — companies over the size threshold must file them by law and the board signs them off. No credit-agency data. The numbers are theirs; the plain-English read is ours. This is information compiled from public records under the Open Government Licence v3.0 — not a credit rating and not advice.
The 31-day comparison figure is the median across 6,104 companies with a current statutory report — every sector pooled, not an average of sector medians (how the figure is built).
