The forecast for electricity consumption in the UK's non-ferrous metal sector reveals a consistent decline from 2024 to 2028. Consumption decreases steadily, moving from 3.17 thousand gigawatt hours in 2024 to 2.57 in 2028. Stemming from the year's base of 2023, where data indicates slightly higher electricity usage, the reduction implies increased efficiency or sectoral shifts possibly affecting energy demands.
Future trends to watch include:
- Technological advancements leading to energy efficiency.
- Shifts in production processes or materials impacting electricity needs.
- Regulatory changes driving industry adaptation.
- Potential shifts in global demand for non-ferrous metals.
