Home Energy
Milton Keynes performs better than the average for England
for home energy consumption as, being a new town, there
is a higher proportion of recently built homes that are more
energy e昀케cient. Consequently, the amount of gas and
electricity consumed per average household is less than
the average for England: 2.8% less for electricity, and
6.6% less for gas.
Although Milton Keynes households create
more waste than the average for England,
there are higher rates of recycling.
In 2021/22, the percentage of household waste sent
for recycling was 51.9% in Milton Keynes, which is above
the average of 42% of all English Unitary Authorities.
