Energy & Fuel
Pump prices since 2006, the wholesale price of electricity hour by hour, demand on the grid, and the output and running cost of every power plant
Daily & monthly · 2006 → · 26 series
Pump prices for petrol, high-speed diesel, kerosene, light diesel oil and jet fuel, at every change since May 2006: each value is the price in force from its date until the next change.
For electricity, the module follows the whole chain. The wholesale price is shown for every hour since July 2024, along with demand on the national grid, the electricity each distribution company draws, and the grid's monthly mix of hydel, coal, nuclear, gas, wind, solar and bagasse power. For every power plant there is monthly output, utilisation and capacity from 2017-18, daily output for 2024-25, and its running cost per unit and place in the dispatch order at each revision since mid-2024.
The energy dashboard brings the headline figures together. For the fuel import bill, see Trade & External; for retail fuel in the weekly price survey, see Commodity Prices.
