The supply of Natural Gas Liquids (NGL) in the UK has experienced significant fluctuations over the past decade. After reaching its peak in 2016 with 44.51 Thousand Gigawatthours, it saw a pronounced decline, hitting 29.19 Thousand Gigawatthours in 2020. From there, slight recovery was observed, with the value at 32.53 Thousand Gigawatthours in 2023. This represents a year-on-year decrease of 2.59% from 2022. Over the last five years, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) has averaged -2.48%.
Looking forward, projections suggest a continued decline in NGL supply, reaching 27.92 Thousand Gigawatthours by 2028. This future period forecasts a 5-year CAGR of -2.36%, resulting in an overall reduction of 11.26%.
Future Trends to Watch For:
- The increasing emphasis on renewable energy sources may further impact the NGL supply.
- Technological advancements in extraction and processing could potentially stabilize the decline.
- Policy changes and environmental regulations will likely play a critical role in shaping the supply dynamics.
