UK to phase out gas heating in new homes by 2025: Electricity is about five times the cost of gas, so that's going to be painful for some.
(tags:gas heating uk globalwarming )

I had storage heaters / hot water on White Meter (overnight cheap rate) all my life in the UK. None of the places were especially well insulated. None had double glazing. Last bills I had for a 44sqm all-electric flat were about GBP 1700 / yr (2014-15). That is ALL heating, lighting, etc. etc. Don't know how it is now or how it compares with gas...

I'm currently paying £768 per year.

So under half.

Electricity is over double the cost per kWh of gas.
