Electricity: Scotland
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, whether he has an estimate for the share of electricity in demand in Scotland met by nuclear generation for each of the last five years.
Answered by Michael Shanks
Electricity, including that generated from nuclear, is traded both nationally and internationally and is not constrained to geographical areas. No estimate has been made of the contribution of nuclear generation to Scotland’s demand.
Data on Scotland’s annual electricity demand and generation are published in the UK Energy Trends article: Energy Trends: December 2025, special feature article - Electricity generation and supply in Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland and England, 2020 to 2024 - GOV.UK
