Supported claim
Energy policy must assess security, affordability and emissions together because the UK energy system uses a changing mix of domestic and imported fuels and generation technologies.
Method note
The department compiles annual official energy statistics; this record supports the system context, not a forecast of any proposal's price or emissions effect.
Assumptions and limitations
  • National annual aggregates are suitable context for policy direction.
  • Future system costs and generation shares may differ from the reported year.
