Household spending on gas in the United Kingdom (UK) amounted to approximately 18.7 billion British pounds in 2024. This was a decrease of more than 18 percent compared to the previous year as supply constraints eased. Overall, household expenditure on energy in the UK also dropped in 2024.
E.ON sold nearly 381 terawatt-hours of gas in 2023, a decrease of around 17.7 percent in comparison to the previous year. That same year, E.ON's electricity sales stood at roughly 204 terawatt-hours.

The Nord Stream 2 pipeline is expected to have the greatest impact on the share of gas supply from Norway and Russia. By 2025, Norway is expected to lose some four percent of the EU gas supply market share to Russia, following the addition of Nord Stream 2 to the gas pipeline network.
Nord Stream 2 is an offshore natural gas pipeline roughly ***** kilometers long, which connects Ust-Luga in Russia to Lubmin, Germany. The first agreement to construct Nord Stream 2 was signed in 2015 between major energy companies. However, the construction has been hampered, due to various political and economical disputes. Nonetheless, as of July 2021, the U.S. and Germany's representatives agreed on the completion of Nord Stream 2.

Main fuel type of central heating of dwellings in England and Wales, by property type, tenure, property age and whether new or existing.
The National Balancing Point (NBP), the UK's natural gas benchmark, amounted to 81.02 British pence per therm on September 8, 2025, for contracts with delivery in October. Prices are generally higher in the winter months due to greater gas heating demand, especially in weeks of colder weather. The UK NBP, along with the Dutch TTF, serve as benchmarks for natural gas prices in Europe. Impact on consumer prices and household expenditure post-2022 Fluctuations in wholesale natural gas prices often have immediate impacts on UK consumers. In 2023, the consumer price index for gas in the UK rose to 195 index points, using 2015 as the base year. This increase has translated into higher household expenditure on gas, which reached approximately 18.71 billion British pounds in 2024. This figure represents a 40 percent increase from 2021, highlighting the growing financial burden on UK households. Consumption patterns and supply challenges The residential and commercial sectors remain the largest consumers of natural gas in the UK, using an estimated 42 billion cubic meters in 2024. This was followed by the power sector, which consumed about 13 billion cubic meters. The UK's reliance on gas imports has grown due to declining domestic production. This shift has led to an increased dependence on liquefied natural gas imports and pipeline inflows to meet demand.

About the ProjectKAPSARC is analyzing the shifting dynamics of the global gas markets. Global gas markets have turned upside down during the past five years: North America has emerged as a large potential future LNG exporter while gas demand growth has been slowing down as natural gas gets squeezed between coal and renewables. While the coming years will witness the fastest LNG export capacity expansion ever seen, many questions are raised on the next generation of LNG supply, the impact of low oil and gas prices on supply and demand patterns and how pricing and contractual structure may be affected by both the arrival of U.S. LNG on global gas markets and the desire of Asian buyers for cheaper gas.Key PointsIn the past year, global gas prices have dropped significantly, albeit at unequal paces depending on the region. All else being equal, economists would suggest that this should have generated a positive demand response. However, “all else” was not equal. Prices of other commodities also declined while economic growth forecasts were downgraded. Prices at benchmark points such as the U.K. National Balancing Point (NBP), U.S. Henry Hub (HH) and Japan/Korea Marker (JKM) slumped due to lower oil prices, liquefied natural gas (LNG) oversupply and unseasonal weather. Yet, the prices of natural gas in local currencies have increased in a number of developing countries in Africa, the Middle East, Latin America, former Soviet Union (FSU) and Asia. North America experienced demand growth while gas in Europe and Asia faced rising competition from cheaper coal, renewables and, in some instances, nuclear. Gains to European demand were mostly weather related while increases in Africa and Latin America were not significant. For LNG, Europe became the market of last resort as Asian consumption declined. Moreover, an anticipated surge in LNG supply, brought on by several new projects, may lead to a confrontation with Russian or other pipeline gas suppliers to Europe. At the same time, Asian buyers are seeking concessions on pricing and flexibility in their long-term contracts. Looking ahead, natural gas has to prove itself a credible and affordable alternative to coal, notably in Asia, if the world is to reach its climate change targets. The future of the gas industry will also depend on oil prices, evolution of Chinese energy demand and impact of COP21 on national energy policies. Current low prices mean there is likely to be a pause in final investment decisions (FIDs) on LNG projects in the coming years.
The lockdowns and restrictions as a response to covid-19 had a significant impact on the consumption of natural gas around the world. In France, a 23 percent-decrease in natural gas consumption was reported from the first day of lockdown to April 15, 2020.
Natural gas expenditure by all end users in the United Kingdom presented a trend of growth over the years, peaking at some 22.4 billion British pounds in 2013. By 2019, figures decreased to 18.5 billion British pounds.
