The forecast for the Non-Ferrous Metals sector's electricity consumption in the UK from 2024 to 2028 reveals a consistent downward trend. Starting with a consumption of 272.28 thousand tonnes of oil equivalent in 2024, it is projected to fall to 221.01 by 2028. The year-on-year decline indicates a steady decrease in energy usage, driven potentially by efficiency improvements and shifts in production methods. The average annual decrease, calculated as the CAGR over these five years, further emphasizes this trend.
Future trends to watch for include technological advancements in metal production processes, which could lead to increased energy efficiency. Additionally, regulatory changes and shifts towards sustainable practices may significantly influence energy consumption patterns in this sector.
