Consumer support for coal in the UK is projected to see a marginal increase each year from 2024 to 2028, with values as a percentage of GDP rising minimally from 0.03 in 2024 to 0.032 in 2028. The year-on-year growth from 2024 to 2025 is 3.33%, stabilizing with zero annual increase through 2026, and then resuming a slight upward trend from 2027 to 2028.

Future Trends to Watch For:

The UK's broader energy transition policies and their impact on coal support schemes.
Potential shifts in consumer preference towards more sustainable energy sources.
Economic factors influencing GDP and consequently the relative weight of coal support.
