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.
The UK historically had a coal-driven grid that generated large amounts of CO 2 and other pollutants including SO 2 and nitrogen oxides, leading to some acid rain found in Norway and Sweden. Coal plants had to be fitted with scrubbers which added to costs. [111] In 2019 the electricity sector of the UK emitted 0.256 kg of CO 2 per kWh of ...
A supply receiving power from the network operator has an import MPAN, while generation and microgeneration projects feeding back into the DNO network are given export MPANs. [ 1 ] The equivalent for gas supplies is the Meter Point Reference Number and the water/wastewater equivalent for non-household customers is the Supply Point ID .
The UK’s domestic energy prices (including taxes) were 72.7 percent above the average for IEA prices in 2023, at 36.4p/kWh compared to an average of 21.1p/kWh. The data was not yet available for ...
The levelized cost of electricity (LCOE) is a metric that attempts to compare the costs of different methods of electricity generation consistently. Though LCOE is often presented as the minimum constant price at which electricity must be sold to break even over the lifetime of the project, such a cost analysis requires assumptions about the value of various non-financial costs (environmental ...
In the United Kingdom, suppliers are legally obliged to purchase a proportion of their electricity from renewable sources under the Renewables Obligation and there is a danger that energy suppliers may sell such green electricity under a premium 'green energy' tariff, rather than sourcing additional green electricity supplies.

The power factor is the ratio of real to apparent power in a power system. Drawing more current results in a lower power factor. Larger currents require costlier infrastructure to minimize power loss, so consumers with low power factors get charged a higher electricity rate by their utility. [ 23 ]
UK Power Networks (UKPN) is a distribution network operator for electricity covering South East England, the East of England and London.It manages three licensed distribution networks (Eastern Power Networks, South Eastern Power Networks and London Power Networks) which together cover an area of 30 000 square kilometres and approximately eight million customers.
