We Brits as a nation seem to be using less energy now than we did in 1970, despite the economy doubling in size.
In a recent report it was said that gas use is 10% down and electricity 17% less as a result of measures to support clean power, such as subsidies for renewables, push up bills and other policies to save energy including installation programs and regulations on more efficient machinery.
Experts said it went against a pattern of increased energy consumption in a growing economy and suggested it was down to good policy from the Government, such as the drive to get households to be energy efficient.
According to the digest of UK energy statistics (DUKES), consumption of all energy in 2013 was the lowest since 1985 (203.2 million tonnes of oil equivalent) after adjusting for temperature.
It says energy intensity, the amount of energy for every unit of wealth created, fell by 70% between 1970 and 2013 in the industrial sector and 55% in services.
