The energy mix is a group of different primary energy sources from which secondary energy for direct use - such as electricity - is produced.
Demand for electricity in 2014 was 34.42GW on average (301.7TWh over the year) coming from a total electricity generation of 335.0TWh. While it increased by 11% compared to 2016, far larger rises have been seen in recent years.A similar story is seen for biomass power. The GB electricity system is undergoing a period of significant change as we transition from a large-scale conventional fossil fuel dominated generation mix to intermittent renewable generation. This equates to energy consumption per capita of 34.82 MWh (3.00 tonnes of oil equivalent) compared to a 2010 world average of 21.54 MWh (1.85 tonnes of oil equivalent).
Nuclear is light pink, while electricity imports and renewables are dark pink.As highlighted above, the falling prominence of coal in the UK’s primary energy supply is clearly visible in the shrinking width of the black lines. This is the lowest ever share in the modern era.
The major change in the make-up of UK energy consumption is the rapid decline in the use of coal and fuels made from it, such as coke and blast furnace gas.
Demand sat at 24 million tonnes of oil equivalent (Mtoe) in 2017, 38% lower than the 39Mtoe used in 1990.Domestic energy use, on the other hand, fell by 4% – the first reduction in two years. Effectiveness of renewable and non-renewable approaches
Top: UK primary energy use by source, millions of tonnes of oil equivalent (Mtoe), 1970-2017. This pushed up the proportion of electricity supplied by renewables to 30%, up from 25% in both 2016 and 2015, as the chart below shows.The increase was driven by a large boost to wind generation from rising capacity and wind speeds, as well as smaller increases in solar and hydro generation.Meanwhile, coal-fired generation fell for the sixth consecutive year in 2017, reaching just a 7% share of overall electricity supply. In other words, the UK will use less energy in 2030 than it did in 1970. Coal and nuclear are still the main energy sources, however.Today, energy suppliers understand that there is no one ultimate source of electricity – at least not yet – and so they have to have multiple sources.

Six charts show mixed progress for UK renewables
All energy suppliers in the UK, big and small, have an energy mix and the same can be said for most suppliers around the world. In this lesson you will learn about the UK energy mix and how and why this has changed over time. This increased dramatically between 2011 and 2015 as Drax, formerly the UK’s largest coal plant, converted half its units to burn Fossil fuel extraction in the UK fell slightly by around 2% last year, driven by a fall in coal and gas extraction.
