 "summary": "The average annual bill for a household using 11,200 kWh of gas a year, by how it pays, each calendar year since 2014, in cash terms including VAT. DESNZ labels these figures United Kingdom but builds them from Great Britain's 14 regions.",

 "status": "",
 "notes": [
  "Bills are for a standard gas tariff at a fixed consumption of 11,200 kWh a year, so they show prices rather than what households actually spent. DESNZ's table names the area United Kingdom, but its regional table holds only Great Britain's regions, so Northern Ireland is not counted. The latest year is provisional until DESNZ revises it in March."
