UK’s total electricity consumption increased by 2.2% in the three months to November 2023 compared to the same period the previous year.
The rise was observed across sectors, with domestic sales up by 1.4%, attributed to lower average temperatures increasing the demand for heating.
Industrial sales increased by 0.7%, in line with productivity increases measured in the Index of Production.
Government data shows that consumption by other final users, including commercial users, rose by 2.7%, likely driven by colder temperatures.
