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.

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.
The regulator said the increase was almost entirely driven by market instability and global events, particularly the conflict in Ukraine.
This is a list of electric generation, consumption, exports and imports by country. Data are for the year 2021 and are from the EIA. [1] Figures are in terawatt-hours (TWh). Links for each location go to the relevant electricity market page, when available.
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.
