Electricity: Imports

Asked by Harriet CrossConservativeDepartment for Energy Security and Net ZeroTabled Answered 11 June 2025UIN 57053

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, how many days was more than 10 per cent of UK electricity demand imported between 1 November 2024 and 30 April 2025.

Answered by Michael Shanks

The Department does not record daily electricity demand or import data. Half-hourly figures for electricity demand and import for Great Britain’s public distribution system are available from the National Energy System Operator (NESO) data portal. Quarter-hourly figures for Northern Ireland’s electricity demand from the public distribution system are available from EirGrid.
