In 2023, the share of natural gas in the UK’s commercial and public services sector stood at approximately 35.36%. The forecasted figures indicate a gradual decline from 2024 to 2028, with the share decreasing from 35.19% to 34.51%. This reflects a subtle downward trend with an annual decrease averaging around 0.40% over the period.
Future trends to watch for:
- Continued growth in renewable energy adoption could further reduce reliance on natural gas.
- Government policies aimed at reducing carbon emissions may increasingly favor cleaner energy sources.
- Technological advancements in energy efficiency within public and commercial services may impact gas consumption.
