The re-import of diesel generating sets with output less than 75 kVA to the UK stood at approximately 4.54 thousand kilograms in 2023. Forecasts for 2024 show a similar value at 4.54 thousand kilograms, followed by a year-on-year decline of about 6.6% in 2025, and subsequent declines of around 7.1% in 2026, 7.4% in 2027, and 7.9% in 2028. This trend indicates a consistent decrease over the five-year period from 2024 to 2028, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) showing an average reduction in volume of about 7.26% per year.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Impact of technological advancements in alternative energy sources potentially reducing the demand for diesel generating sets.
- Policy shifts towards greener energy solutions which may affect import volumes.
- Global economic changes and their impact on the UK's energy import practices.
