<p>The Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy collect data from energy
companies on the price of energy. This data is collected in confidence and therefore
cannot be provided by individual supplier.</p><p>In real terms, the cost of an average
annual UK domestic energy bill based on fixed consumption levels[1] for combined gas
and standard electricity increased year on year from 2010 to 2014 but fell between
2014 and 2016. Overall from 2010 to 2016, bills increased by 8.4 per cent, assuming
fixed consumption. However, over this time period average household consumption of
gas and electricity also fell, in large part as a result of improved energy efficiency.
Based on actual consumption, bills were slightly lower in 2016 than 2010, although
this reflects colder than average temperatures in 2010.</p><p>Data based on fixed
consumption can be found online at: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/statistical-data-sets/annual-domestic-energy-price-statistics"

individual companies have published their total revenue from sales of domestic gas
and electricity through the consolidated segmental reports which can be found here:</p><p><a
