Cost of gas and electricity measured in kWh from April 2023 to March 2024

Freedom of information request reference no: 01.FOI.24.037594

I note you seek access to the following information:

For the period 1 April 2023 to 31 March 2024, we please require disclosure of:

• The grid Electricity kwh’s consumed & the £-value spent (excl-vat).
• The natural Gas kwh’s consumed & the £-value spent (excl-vat).

Just as our last £4.5 billion disclosure report of public sector usage & cost covered all the Government departments, publicly funded or linked organisations, we would again note that the energy usages would fall within the EIR 2004 regulations, and the costs fall within your normal cost spend disclosure on your public facing website disclosures. Therefore, as before, there is nothing again which can legitimately be deemed to be covered as valid ROI exemptions or commercially sensitive.

Decision

I have today decided to disclose the located information to you in full. Please find below information pursuant to your request above.

For the period 1 April 2023 to 31 March 2024, we please require disclosure of:

• The grid Electricity kwh’s consumed & the £-value spent (excl-vat).
