What this measures

DESNZ's estimate of the annual bill for a UK household using 11,200 kWh of gas at the average tariff across all payment methods, in cash terms.

What this doesn’t measure

What any household actually paid, or homes without mains gas, which are around 15% of the total.

Important caveat

These are modelled bills for a fixed amount of energy at the average tariff, not what households actually spent. They include the effect of the Energy Price Guarantee and the Ofgem cap where those applied, but not the Energy Bills Support Scheme payments made in 2022 and 2023. The gas series on this basis starts in 2022; earlier years used a different consumption assumption and are not comparable. Figures are in cash terms.
