Question

Becoming cleaner comes with an increased cost of electricity. According to this graphic the increase in the UK annual cost of energy between 2007 and 2015 for an average house was x% [answer] (answer to the nearest percent expected). If you increase this cost by x ~1.3 you will get an approximate dollar value. (Is energy expensive?) Much of the cost was due to higher cost renewable energy.

Explanation / Answer

here is the graphic of the cost of the electricity for one year in the UK. we need to know the average increase in the electricity cost in these years. so here is some calculation which will help us to find the average increased cost of the electricity.

we need the difference between 2007 and 2015 the cost of electricity, so the cost of the electricity of the 2007 year was 954 euro and the cost of the electricity of the 2015 year was 1311 euro, so the difference is-

1311 - 954 = 357 euro

357 euro increased in 8 years so on an average per year increase in cost will be = 357 / 8 = 44.625 euro

if we convert it in dollar then= 44.625 * 1.3 = 58.0125 $ = 58 $ (approx.)

yes, its increase in these years but in these years per person income will increase too. and this cost increased yearly. we need to consider that point also and too get clean energy. its tiny increase in the cost according to me. because for clean energy, we have to pay 58$ extra in a year which is not a big deal.
