During 2021, interconnectors provided 28TWh of electricity to the UK, which equates to 10% of total demand, whilst in 2009 this figure was 7TWh. [1] Interconnectors allow the trade of electricity between countries with excess renewable generation and those with high demand.
This is a list of European countries by electricity consumption per person. As of 2022, the top three are Iceland (52,920 kWh/year), Norway (23,374 kWh/year), and Finland (14,747 kWh/year), whereas the bottom three are Moldova (2,201 kWh/year), Albania (2,509 kWh/year), and Ukraine (2,636 kWh/year).

This is a list of countries by total primary energy consumption and production. 1 quadrillion BTU = 293 TW·h = 1.055 EJ 1 quadrillion BTU/yr = 1.055 EJ/yr = 293 TW·h/yr = 33.433 GW. The numbers below are for the total energy consumption or production in a whole year, so should be multiplied by 33.433 to get the average value in GW in that year.
The average household energy bill will rise by £94 a year from January after Ofgem increased its price cap in response to rising wholesale prices.
MSP kWh is the amount of electricity consumed at the 'meter supply point', which is the customer's meter. GSP kWh is obtained by multiplying the MSP kWh by the Line Loss Factor (LLF, a figure > 1) to include the amount of electricity lost when it is conducted through the distribution network, from the 'grid supply point' to the customer's meter.
In 2020, coal produced 4.4 TWh of electricity and Britain went 5,202 hours free from coal electricity generation, up from 3,665 hours in 2019 and 1,856 in 2018. [ 73 ] In August and September 2021, the UK had to restart coal plants, amidst a lack of wind, as power imports from Europe were insufficient to satisfy demand.
