UK Lockdown Energy Consumption Levels Soar
Demand for solar PV will follow suit. The UK went into lockdown on March 23rd. This unprecedented shift in the way we live has massively impacted our energy consumption. As a result, we have seen a lot of interesting figures emerge from our energy usage as more of us stay home.
Following a Government report, the following bits of key data have been highlighted:
- Domestic Consumption up 4.5%
- Transport from Petrol down 2.8%
- Transport from Aviation down 14.2%
- Overall Energy Consumption up 1%
As we can see from these key statistics, domestic energy consumption has risen sharply, whilst travel consumption has gone down also. These kinds of changes are likely to continue into the next quarter and beyond, with many reconsidering commuting arrangements, given the new openness to working from home.
This daytime demand for electricity means that now, more than ever, taking the plunge with solar power makes complete sense.
