Supplementary notes

The question was phrased by the source as follows: 'How concerned, if at all, are you about steep rises in energy prices in the future? By 'the future' we mean the next 10-20 years.'
Percentages may not total 100 percent due to rounding.
Survey base varied across the years.

Survey methodology up to 2018 was a Kantar face-to-face omnibus survey. In March 2021, a temporary Kantar online panel type of survey was introduced, which was not based on a random sample of respondents. From autumn 2021 onwards, the survey primarily used an Address Based Online Surveying (ABOS) method. Due to a change in survey methodology, the source states that direct comparisons between time series is not possible.
