23 year old bill and a question for the spreadsheet keepers.....
Comments
-
I had a quick look at my old spreadsheets - forget the price/kwh - the huge difference was in my usage between 2004 and now.
Electricity down from 6500kwh/pa to 3400kwh/pa and gas down from ~ 18000kwh/pa to 14000kh/pa. New TVs, fridge/freezer, better boiler energy efficient lighting etc etc
Bills have still gone up tho' ! LOL4 -
Spreadsheet goes back to 2008 but equations don't work prior to format change in 2012.2013Elec £153.07 = 861kWhGas £191.73 = 2681kWh*Aggregate cost/kWh = 9.735p2025 (365days to today)Elec £267.07 = 310kWhGas £123.99 = 240kWh*Aggregate cost/kWh = 71.102p(*Gas+Elec, unit costs with standing charges spread over total kWh)Same house, occupancy & general power arrangements. Consumption reduction driven by eco considerations, not cost. The largest part of my current bills is the standing charges because I'm a very low energy consumer. The average user would not see such a big rise in the last 12 years.
