The value of expenditure on all UK energy, by sector, for 2019, 2020 and 2021, is published as part of the Digest of UK Energy Statistics (DUKES) value balances.

Statistics on energy expenditure for 2022 will be published in July 2023 and will reflect the support government has announced for both non-domestic and domestic energy consumers over the winter. For example, the Energy Price Guarantee will save the typical household around £700 on its energy bill over six months to March 2023.

Over the longer-term, policies to improve energy efficiency and increase low carbon energy supply will help to reduce both the amount of energy consumed and exposure to volatile international fossil fuel prices.
