Yes, but the gas meter still exists so you need a gas contract - I
think. You can't simply forget it exists, because you have to pay the
Gas Transporter for the rent / maintenance of the meter and network
supply.

However, reading 4 energy company Terms & Conditions for Dual Fuel
contracts I can find nothing that says "if you have a dual fuel
contract, you must draw N kWh of gas or will be charged a minimum
amount".

I would have thought if you went for one of the contracts where they in
effect incorporate the standing charge into the gas price for the first
"n" units, then you should be able to simply use less (i.e. none!) and
hence pay nothing.

So yes, it seems I just get the meter outlet capped and continue a
dual fuel supply, draw no gas, and bizarrely they get nothing on the
gas side and I get a dual fuel discount.

Sounds like a good plan.
