The forecasted consumption of solid fossil fuels by households in the UK displays a steady downward trend from 2024 to 2028, starting at 11.52 thousand terajoules in 2024 and decreasing annually by an average of around 15% to 5.52 thousand terajoules in 2028. In 2023, the final consumption stood higher than 11.52 thousand terajoules, indicating a prior decline already in motion. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the forecast period reflects a consistent reduction in usage, likely driven by the UK's ongoing transition towards cleaner energy sources and increasing energy efficiency measures.
Future trends to watch for include potential policy changes aimed at accelerating the reduction of fossil fuel consumption, technological advancements in renewable energy, and shifts in consumer behavior towards more sustainable practices, which could further influence the decline rate of solid fossil fuel consumption.
