UK electricity generation per person falls below 1970s levels
Original: The United Kingdom generates less electricity per person than in the 1970s
New data from Our World in Data shows that the United Kingdom now generates less electricity per person than it did in the 1970s, with generation down by roughly a third from its peak in the early 2000s. The figures point to a structural shift in the country's energy system, prompting debate about how falling output fits with rising electricity demand from electrification of transport and heating.
Why now: The sharp long-term decline in UK per-capita electricity generation, highlighted by widely shared data, raises questions about energy policy and future demand.
