At the time 

the chart below 

was generated, 

natural gas 

and nuclear power 

accounted for 82% 

of UK electricity demand, 

plus 9% from burning wood 

(aka biomass, at double

 the price of burning coal).

Notes:

IC France = France Interconnector

IC Ned = Netherlands Interconnector

IC Irl = Moyle Interconnector

               – link between 

                   South Ayrshire in Scotland and 

                     County Antrim in Northern Ireland. 

IC Ew = East West Interconnector

                  – link between

                      Rush North Beach, County Dublin, 

                        in Ireland, and Barkby Beach 

                         in North Wales.   

          

IC Nem = Belgium Interconnector

SOLAR  ENERGY 

     ESTIMATE:

“There is no

 central recording 

of Solar Generation. 

This figure is an 

estimated figure 

which comes from 

Sheffield University. 

This value is now 

included in the 

Demand figure”

"Each fuel type output 

comes directly from Elexon, 

with the exception of Solar, 

which comes from Sheffield 

University."
