Chapter 5: Electricity
1 Chapter 5: Electricity Vanessa Martin 0776 757 3907 Key headlines Electricity demand increased in 2021 to TWh, up by per cent from 2020. The increase was primarily a result of the response to the Covid-19 pandemic, which severely restricted the activity of business and industry in 2020 but had a smaller effect in 2021. Demand increased in all sectors in 2021 compared to 2020. The reduction of restrictions in response to Covid -19 led to an increase in industrial and commercial Electricity consumption, whilst cooler temperatures increased domestic consumption. Electricity supply increased in 2021, due to higher demand for Electricity , but UK generation fell with higher supply from net imports. Total Electricity supplied in 2021 was TWh, with net imports of TWh, per cent of Electricity supplied.
This was the lowest amount in more than twenty years as all of the UK’s nuclear plants were on outage at times during the year. While some of these were statutory outages (planned in advance for maintenance purposes), there were also a number of unplanned outages for repairs, including Dungeness B being unable to generate all year.
