£1,200 a year for electricity that's crazy we pay £384 with eon - our electricity and oil bill doesn't come to £1,200 pa. It's a thermally efficient 3 bedroom 40 year old house but no solar gizmo's.
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
