  "Bills are for a standard electricity tariff at a fixed consumption of 3,400 kWh a year, so they show prices rather than what households actually spent. From October 2022 they include the Energy Price Guarantee and from 2022 to 2023 the Energy Bills Support Scheme discount. The latest year is provisional until DESNZ revises it in March."
