The Department for Energy Security and Net Zero published the June 2024 edition of Quarterly Energy Prices on 27 June 20241. The publication is described as an accredited official statistics release and as a quarterly statistical publication on energy prices1.
The document runs to 31 pages and is issued as a PDF of 1.41 MB1. It contains tables, charts and commentary covering energy prices to domestic and industrial consumers for all the major fuels, and presents comparisons of fuel prices in the EU and G7 countries1. The figures themselves are held in the PDF and its linked tables; the GOV.UK page does not restate the price levels, so the specific rates in this edition have not been reported on the landing page1.
Two changes to how the publication is assembled are set out in the details. Annexes A to D are now included in the main publication, and the department no longer publishes a separate copy of the combined tables1.
"We no longer publish a separate copy of the combined tables: we have included links to the QEP tables from the main document."
The publication sits within the department's official energy statistics publications series, alongside Energy Trends and the release calendar, and forms part of the wider market data record for UK energy.
Why it matters for households
Quarterly Energy Prices is the government's own record of what households and businesses pay for the major fuels, so it is the reference point against which other claims about domestic bills can be checked. Because it covers domestic and industrial consumers together, it allows a household's position to be read against the prices faced by industry, which feed through into the cost of goods and services over time. Its EU and G7 comparisons place UK domestic prices in an international frame, which is the basis for the comparison of UK domestic energy prices with Europe. Read across successive editions, the series builds the history of UK domestic energy prices over time, which is what shows whether a given quarter is a rise, a fall or a pause. For a household weighing its own energy independence, the value of the release is that it is accredited official statistics rather than a supplier's or a campaigner's figure, and that it is published on a fixed quarterly cycle.
What happens next
The next edition of Quarterly Energy Prices is not dated on this page1. The publication sits in the Quarterly Energy Prices collection, which is where subsequent editions appear1.
