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.
[2] [3] There are 332,216 such grid squares containing at least some land or permanent structure (at low tide), of which 281,131 have Geographs. [4] Geographs are being collected for all parts of Great Britain, Isle of Man and Ireland. The Channel Islands fall outside Britain's grid system, but may be geographed using their local UTM grid.
