Priced in sats
Annual dual fuel energy bill, typical use (per year) cost £1,158 in 2015 and £1,765 in 2025, a change of +52% in pounds across 10 years. The figures are annual averages from Ofgem price cap and typical domestic consumption values. The fiat peak in this series came in 2022 at £2,100.
Priced in sats, the same item went from 639,779,006 sats to 2,284,819 sats, a change of −99.6%.

Short windows can and do run against the holder; the direction across the full series is what the chart shows.
Energy is where the 2022 crisis hit hardest: the typical bill nearly doubled in a single year and has settled well above the old normal.
