Methodology description

Since 2005, UK electricity suppliers have been required by law to publish fuel mix disclosure data showing how the electricity they supply to domestic customers is generated — enabling consumers to make informed choices about their electricity supply. Electricityinfo.org collects and publishes this self-reported supplier fuel mix data, covering the period 2005 to 2024.

For each supplier, the data includes the percentage breakdown of electricity by fuel source (coal, gas, nuclear, renewable, and other), the CO₂ emission intensity in gCO₂/kWh, and high-level nuclear waste, reported annually at the supplier level.

Climatiq derives both the supplier mix and residual mix emission factors for specific UK electricity suppliers from this dataset. The supplier mix rate reflects the full fuel mix of the electricity delivered by the supplier. The residual mix rate adjusts for renewable energy certificates (REGOs) transferred to specific customers, following the GHG Protocol Scope 2 market-based accounting approach

Limitation / key issues to note

This dataset includes data back to 2024 and it is no loger updated by the source.
