    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' ! LOL

    Spreadsheet goes back to 2008 but equations don't work prior to format change in 2012.

    2013
    Elec  £153.07 = 861kWh
    Gas  £191.73 = 2681kWh
    *Aggregate cost/kWh = 9.735p

    2025 (365days to today)
    Elec £267.07 = 310kWh
    Gas £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.
