Data show UK electricity generation per capita peaked in 2003 and has since declined by over a third, now matching levels last seen in the late 1960s. The figures indicate net electricity imports rose from 1% of demand in 2010 to 9% in 2025, while IEA sectoral data show industrial electricity use down a quarter since 2005, alongside similar declines in residential and commercial consumption.
