Median residential gas bill, 2022

[wondering]

Hi all, I'm looking for an estimate, or guesstimate, of the median gas bill for 2022, based on the figures below for 2015-21 which are based on Dublin.

Trends in Metered Electricity and Gas Bills 2021 - CSO - Central Statistics Office

Table 1B:
Dublin
2015: 797
2016: 743
2017: 711
2018: 827
2019: 789
2020: 807
2021: 778
2022: ?

Any other comment on the above figures would be welcome as well - for example there was a big jump in 2018, and I can't think why that was.

The beast from the east was in 2018. Might have accounted for a small increase in usage.

More than a small increase. Winter that year extended through almost all the month of March so the c. 16% increase on the previous year is fully understandable.
