	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/09/2017 answer text <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" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/statistical-data-sets/annual-domestic-energy-price-statistics</a>.

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/09/2017 answer text <p>After an increase in 2013, average household dual fuel bills declined in real terms between 2013 and 2016. Actions taken to tackle emissions have helped to reduce average energy bills for households as efficiency savings have more than offset the increased cost of supporting low carbon technologies.</p><p>The Committee on Climate Change (CCC) estimate that the cost of policies delivering cleaner energy, support for vulnerable households, and investing in upgrading our buildings account for around 12 per cent (around £140) of an average household dual fuel bill in 2016. However, these costs are on average more than offset by savings from improvements to the energy efficiency of people’s homes. The CCC estimate that household energy efficiency improvements made since 2008 are delivering average bill savings of around £290 per year, driven in large part by government policy.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Stourbridge answering member printed Margot James question first answered 14/09/2017 15:20:19 answering member 4115 label Biography information for Margot James
