Data is not available to the Department on the number of households with prepayment meters at the parliamentary constituency or local authority level.

Statistics are produced on a quarterly basis which show the proportion of households on prepayment tariffs by Public Electricity Supply (PES) region. These are made available through the DECC publication Quarterly Energy Prices, in tables 242 (electricity) and 252 (gas), which can be found online at the link below:
