Details

Each year the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero, formerly the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, updates its long-term price assumptions for oil, gas and coal.

These are assumptions for the wholesale fossil fuel prices that are relevant for the UK economy and which are set in international markets. These assumptions are required for long-term economic appraisal and therefore reflect a range of potential long-term trends. They are not forecasts of future energy prices.

This publication presents analysis from 2023.

Contact ieu.analysis@beis.gov.uk for any enquiries about these assumptions or the supporting documents.
