Of 350 local authority areas in Great Britain, Malvern Hills comes 56th for electricity use and 259th of 347 for gas, counting from the highest.

Only about 65% of homes in Malvern Hills 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.
