Energy mix of the United Kingdom over time. Total energy consumption in the United Kingdom was 142.0 million tonnes of oil equivalent (1,651 TWh) in 2019. [2] In 2014, the UK had an energy consumption per capita of 2.78 tonnes of oil equivalent (32.3 MWh) compared to a world average of 1.92 tonnes of oil equivalent (22.3 MWh). [3]
As of 2nd quarter 2017, renewables generated 29.8% of the UK's electricity. [79] Currently, the biggest renewable source of energy in the UK is wind power, and the UK has some of the best wind resources in Europe. The UK has relatively small hydroelectricity deployment and resources, although some pumped storage exists.
This is a list of countries by electric energy consumption. China is the largest producer and consumer of electricity, representing 55% of consumption in Asia and 31% of the world in 2023. China is the largest producer and consumer of electricity, representing 55% of consumption in Asia and 31% of the world in 2023.
The oil and gas industry plays a central role in the economy of the United Kingdom. [1] Oil and gas account for more than three-quarters of the UK's total primary energy needs. [2] Oil provides 97 per cent of the fuel for transport, and gas is a key fuel for heating and electricity generation.
As of 2018, Ørsted (formerly DONG Energy) is the UK's largest windfarm operator with stakes in planned or existing projects able to produce 5 GW of wind energy. 2010 saw the completion of significant projects in the UK wind industry with the Gunfleet Sands, Robin Rigg [43] and Thanet [44] offshore wind farms coming on-stream.
Social Progress Index vs Energy Use per capita, 2015. List of countries by Social Progress Index. World energy consumption per capita based on 2021 data. This is a list of countries by total energy consumption per capita. This is not the consumption of end-users but all energy needed as input to produce fuel and electricity for end-users.
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 table lists 45 electricity-consuming countries, which used about 22,000 TWh. These countries comprise about 90% of the final consumption of 190+ countries. The final consumption to generate this electricity is provided for every country. The data is from 2022. [8] [12] In 2022, OECD's final electricity consumption was over 10,000 TWh. [3]
