Of 350 local authority areas in Great Britain, Angus comes 180th for electricity use and 112th of 347 for gas, counting from the highest.

Only about 71% of homes in Angus have a mains gas meter, against about 84% across Great Britain. Homes off the gas grid heat with electricity, oil, LPG or solid fuel, which tends to push electricity use up.
