Sorry, my typo - that's the average for dual-fuel. The green levy is 9%, or £112 on the average. The £112 splits out as follows:

£47 goes on the ECO scheme which helps householders install energy saving measures, and the 'Green Deal' financing

£30 goes to subsidise large renewable energy generation schemes

£11 goes to support the Warm Home Discount which helps low-income pensioners pay for heating in winter

£8 goes to run the EU emissions trading system

£5 goes to pay for the Carbon levy

£3 goes to pay for the Smart Meter rollout
