I am currently looking for quarterly, regional electricity price data for the UK from 2001-2019.
I see on the website a similar dataset on the Department for Business, Energy & Industrial Strategy website the name of dataset is:
Average unit costs and fixed costs for electricity for UK regions (QEP 2.2.4)
Please may I kindly ask, do you have a similar dataset that dates back to 2001 and is quarterly?

Thank you for your request.
In producing consumer price indices, we collect monthly data on unit price and fixed cost from a sample of companies. However, this information is used to measure overall price change across time for the UK as a whole. We do not produce average variable unit price by region or for the whole of the UK. Similarly, we do not produce average fixed costs. The sample is too small to support that level of regional detail and is designed to measure price change, not average price. A short description of how we use the data to produce the indices is described in section 9.5.2 of our technical manual.
Therefore, we do not hold the analysis you are looking for and the data would still not be suitable for your purposes.
In case it is of interest, the electricity price index is published as part of the Consumer Prices Index including owner occupiers' housing costs. The time series is available from the time series section of our website.
