Electricity Supply Data table (ES1) 2023

The Future Energy Scenarios (FES) represent a range of different, credible ways to decarbonise our energy system as we strive towards the 2050 target. One of the FES outputs is an agreed set of data tables containing the GB FES values for electricity supply. This dataset is a file supporting those data tables. The file is the 2023 version of the dataset.

CKAN Data API
