In the last few quarters the debt for electricity and gas customers has continued to rise at a steady rate from Q2 2016 to Q2 2017, reaching £419 in gas and £438 in electricity. Q4 2015 was the first time since we started collecting data that the average level of remaining debt for electricity surpassed that for gas. Methodology This is a snapshot figure of the average debt that remained outstanding on the last day of the reporting period for customers repaying a debt. It only includes the outstanding amount of debt that the customer is paying as part of a repayment plan and does not include any debt incurred for consumption since the start of the repayment plan.
