The forecast for solid fossil fuels available for final consumption in the UK indicates a downward trend from 2024 to 2028. The consumption is expected to decrease from 11.97 thousand gigawatthours in 2024 to 6.6 thousand gigawatthours in 2028. This represents a year-on-year decline ranging from approximately 11.5% to 16.5%. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over these five years is projected to be negative, highlighting a consistent reduction in the use of solid fossil fuels as the UK continues to shift towards cleaner energy sources.
Future trends to watch include the impact of government policies promoting renewable energy, technological advancements in energy efficiency, and international commitments to reduce carbon emissions. These factors are likely to further accelerate the decline in solid fossil fuel consumption in the coming years.
