1. Excludes all energy consumption in the agriculture sub-sector and renewables and heat sold in all services sub-sectors.
2. Includes construction and unclassified energy use in the Industrial column but excludes energy used in the manufacture of coke, refined petroleum products and nuclear fuel (SIC23).
3. In 2000 to 2009, all of heat sold is classed under 'Other non-transport'. However, for 1990, as heat sold is not available as a separate figure, this consumption is spread out across all of the end uses.

1. Excluding non-energy use of fuels.
2. Blast furnace gas is included in coke and breeze up to 1995 and covers electricity transformation, use by ovens and losses.
From 1996 onwards, blast furnace gas is included in the total and covers just coke ovens and losses, which is consistent with the methodology
used for compiling the energy balances. Creosote and pitch are included in the total until 1993.
3. Includes, from 1994, manufactured liquid fuels.
4. Includes colliery methane. Up to 1988 also includes non-energy use of natural gas.
5. Predominantly used for renewable heat; includes liquid biofuels from 2006. Consumption of renewable electricity is included under 'Electricity'.
6. Electricity data for all generating companies are only available from 1987 onwards.
Before 1987 the data are for major power producers, transport undertakings and industrial hydro and nuclear stations only.

1. Conversion losses are defined as the difference between total inland consumption of primary fuels (and equivalents) for
energy use and energy consumption by final users. Conversion losses can be decomposed into changes due to improvements
in conversion efficiency, changes in the proportions of final fuels and changes in the total requirement for final energy.
2. Primary energy equivalents are the amount of fossil fuels and other natural resources required to produce the final energy consumed.

Energy consumption in the United Kingdom: 2011
Overall energy consumption in the UK since 1970
This factsheet provides a brief overview of overall energy consumption in the UK and how it has changed since 1970. It provides a summary of the trends and considers some of the drivers that have influenced overall energy consumption.
This factsheet is based on data from DECCs annual publication Energy consumption in the UK which was published on Thursday 28 July 2011:
http://www.decc.gov.uk/en/content/cms/statistics/publications/ecuk/ecuk.aspx
Queries on the content of this factsheet should be sent to [email protected].
Overall energy consumption in primary terms
1. In 2010, total UK overall primary energy consumption in primary energy terms (i.e. fuels obtained directly from natural sources) was 218.5 million tonnes of oil equivalent, 3 per cent higher than in 2009. However, it should be noted that in 2009 UK primary energy consumption was at its lowest level in the last 20 years as a result of the downturn in the economy.
2. The level of primary energy consumption in 2010 was similar to that seen in 1995, and 2 per cent higher than in 1990 and 4 per cent higher than in 1970.
3. On a temperature corrected basis (to remove the impact a hot or cold year has on energy consumption) primary energy consumption in 2010 was at its lowest since 1987 at 212.0 million tonnes of oil equivalent. Between 1990 and 2010 primary energy consumption on a temperature correct basis fell by 4 per cent lower, but was similar to primary energy consumption in 1970.
4. Chart 1.1 shows how primary energy consumption has changed in the UK over the last 40 years for both the unadjusted and temperature corrected series.
Chart 1:
Total primary energy consumption, unadjusted and temperature corrected, UK, 1970 to 2010
Source: DECC, ECUK Table 1.1
5. In 1970, fuel consumption was dominated by solid fuels use (47 per cent of all energy consumption in the UK) and petroleum (44 per cent), with gas contributing a further 5 per cent and electricity 4 per cent. By 1980 the fuel mix had evolved with natural gas making up 20 per cent of all energy consumption in the UK, solid fuels (36 per cent) and petroleum (37 per cent). In 1990 the split between fuels was similar to that in 1980, however, by 2000 with changes in electricity generation, natural gas consumption had become the dominant fuel responsible for 41 per cent of all energy consumption in the UK, whilst solid fuels had fallen from 31 per cent in 1990 to 17 per cent in 2000. By 2010 more renewable fuels had entered the energy mix. Chart 1.2 shows the change in fuel consumption every ten years between 1970 and 2010.

Total primary energy consumption by fuel, UK, 1970, 1980, 1990, 2000 and 2010

Overall final energy consumption
6. Final use energy consumption in 2010, was 150,071 thousand tonnes of oil equivalent, 5 per cent higher than in 2009, 2 per cent higher than in 1990 and 3 per cent higher than in 1970.
7. The most recent two years have shown the lowest level of final energy consumption in the UK since 1990. The increase between 2009 and 2010 was mainly driven by gas consumption which increased 13 per cent, resulting from the colder weather requiring greater fuel use for heating purposes. Chart 3 shows final energy consumption in the UK from 1970 to 2010 by fuel type.
Chart 3:
Final energy consumption by fuel, UK, 1970 to 2010

8. Since 1970, the overall fuel mix in the UK has significantly changed from solid fuels; accounting for 46,120 million tonnes of oil equivalent to only 2,510 million tonnes of oil equivalent in 2010, largely replaced by gas which grew from 14,408 million tonnes of oil equivalent in 1970 to 51,607 million tonnes of oil equivalent in 2010.
9. Over the same period electricity consumption increased (by 71 per cent to 28,230 million tonnes of oil equivalent). Since 1988 consumption of renewables fuels had increased from 443 million tonnes of oil equivalent to 2,558 million tonnes of oil equivalent. Chart 4 illustrates the changing fuel mix, illustrating that petroleum remains the most used fuel and that over this period petroleum consumption feel between 1970 and 1980, but since has been broadly flat.

10. Chart 5 shows the changing levels of consumption by sector. In 1970, the industry sector was responsible for 43 per cent (62,333 million tonnes of oil equivalent) of total UK consumption, followed by the domestic sector 25 per cent, transport 19 per cent and other final users (mainly agriculture, public administration and commerce).
11. However, by 1990 industrial consumption had fallen to 26 per cent of total final energy consumption in the UK, whilst transport consumption had risen to 33 per cent. Domestic use had increased slightly to 28 per cent and other final users to 13 per cent. The decreasing trend in industrial consumption continued and in 2010 was 18 per cent of total final energy consumption in the UK, with transport consumption responsible for 37 per cent and domestic 32 per cent.

Factors affecting overall energy consumption
12. Overall energy consumption decreased by 3.8 million tonnes of oil equivalent (2.6 per cent) between 1990 and 2009. Over this time energy consumption by the industry sector fell by nearly one third (12.1 million tonnes of oil equivalent) and the services sector by 8 per cent (1.5 million tonnes of oil equivalent); in contrast the transport and domestic sectors saw increases of 7.5 and 2.3 million tonnes of oil equivalent respectively.
13. Output from the economy, in terms of Gross Value Added, can be used to help measure changes in intensity in the industrial and services sectors, whilst the number of households can be used to help measure energy intensity in the domestic sector, and distance travelled for the road passenger transport sector and the distance travelled and weight carried can be used for the road freight transport sector. Chart 6 uses these measures to estimate changes in energy intensity for each sector between 1990 and 2009, whilst Chart 7 shows the time series of intensity since 1970.
14. If the energy required produce a unit of output was the same in 2009 as in 1990, then it is estimated that the energy consumption would have risen by an additional 26.5 million tonnes of oil equivalent, however this increase was offset by a fall in energy intensity of 30.3 million tonnes of oil equivalent.

15. Chart 7 indicates that energy intensity in the industrial sector had fallen by 67 per cent between 1970 and 2010, a quicker rate than all other sectors (service sector down 64 per cent and the domestic sector down 52 per cent). However, since 1995 the rate of decline in the industrial sector has slowed, whilst the services and domestic sectors have continued to decrease at an even rate.
16. The only sector to see an increase between 1970 and 2010 was the transport sector which showed an increase of 3 per cent between 1970 and 2010. It should be noted that a decreasing long-term trend in energy intensity can be partially explained by improved energy efficiency or fuel switching.

1. Excludes all energy consumption in the agriculture sub-sector and renewables and heat sold in all services sub-sectors.
2. Includes construction and unclassified energy use in the Industrial column but excludes energy used in the manufacture of coke, refined petroleum products and nuclear fuel (SIC23).
3. In 2000 to 2009, all of heat sold is classed under 'Other non-transport'. However, for 1990, as heat sold is not available as a separate figure, this consumption is spread out across all of the end uses.

1. Excluding non-energy use of fuels.
2. Blast furnace gas is included in coke and breeze up to 1995 and covers electricity transformation, use by ovens and losses.
From 1996 onwards, blast furnace gas is included in the total and covers just coke ovens and losses, which is consistent with the methodology
used for compiling the energy balances. Creosote and pitch are included in the total until 1993.
3. Includes, from 1994, manufactured liquid fuels.
4. Includes colliery methane. Up to 1988 also includes non-energy use of natural gas.
5. Predominantly used for renewable heat; includes liquid biofuels from 2006. Consumption of renewable electricity is included under 'Electricity'.
6. Electricity data for all generating companies are only available from 1987 onwards.
Before 1987 the data are for major power producers, transport undertakings and industrial hydro and nuclear stations only.
