In 2023, the gross available energy of natural gas in the UK stood at 2.735 million terajoules. The forecasted data from 2024 to 2028 show a gradual decline in this energy value, indicating a consistent downward trend. Year-on-year variation sees slight reductions: around 0.6% to 0.7% annually. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over this five-year period is approximately -0.58%, highlighting a steady decrease in available gross energy.
Future trends to watch for include the impact of possible policy shifts towards renewable energy sources, technological advancements in energy efficiency, and shifts in natural gas demand due to changes in industrial activity or climate policy implementations.
