gas ringConsumers are cutting back on energy use, possibly because of rising bills



Households in England and Wales have cut their energy use by nearly a quarter over the last six years, according to the Office for National Statistics (ONS).


Average consumption of gas and electricity fell by 24.7% between 2005 and 2011.


Customers have faced steep increases in bills over the period, and may be economising as a result.


The regulator, Ofcom, said bills have risen by 28% in the last three years.


But increasing use of energy efficiency measures, such as insulation, double-glazing and new boilers, may also be playing its part.


The ONS figures show that energy consumption is highest in the East Midlands, and lowest in the south-west of England, which has the mildest climate in the UK.
