This chart does not show ACTUAL prices in pounds and pence.Instead here is how the Consumer Council describes it: "A price index is a number that shows the extent to which a price has changed from a base over a given period. The base period is set at 100 and changes in price are shown relative to that number, i.e., above or below 100 for an increase or decrease respectively. The base period for the Home Energy Index is January 2016."
