Utilities and Energy Update
All of our clients are seeing eye watering increases in the cost of energy. Bold & Reeves has a strong working relationship with energy brokers, Argent. The size of our portfolio means that we can achieve substantial savings for our clients. Do contact us if you would like more information on potential savings. We share with you Argent’s current thoughts on the energy market.
Where does UK energy come from?
The changing mix of energy generation in the UK:
In 2008 around 80% of the UK’s electricity came from fossil fuels.
With 13% from nuclear power.
Govt. schemes encouraged renewable generation and at the end of 2008 the UK was the world’s largest producer of offshore wind power.
By 2020 c. 60% of electricity was from low carbon sources.
28.4% from wind/solar
14.7% from hydro and other renewables
16.1% from nuclear
Electricity generated by carbon-emitting fossil fuels (mostly natural gas) dropped to < 41%.
The Shift From Coal to Gas:
North Sea gas and oil, and cheaper imports from abroad meant a decline in coal production.
In 2016, coal supplied less electricity than wind energy.
In 2019, just 2.1% of UK electricity was generated from coal.
Despite the shift to gas, the amount of electricity it generates is also declining.
35.7% in 2020, down from 46% in 2010, as the share of renewable power increases
Plus, than 22 million households still rely on it for home heating and industry is still dependent on gas for heat and a range of industrial processes.
It’s unlikely our requirement for gas is set to reduce in the near future.
The volume of gas from the North Sea reserves is also falling, leaving the UK more exposed to international prices for the growing share we import.
This is driving the high energy costs we are currently paying.
