<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>
