Well, we’ve a single cable coming over from France that makes up about 3% (I think) of our total electricity supply. So “French Nuclear” should be a bigger entry in that table than coal, solar, hydro or bio. That’s not the only import, either, so it’s not completely impractical for the missing percentages to be imports.
Comment on Germany hits 62.7% renewables in 2024 energy mix, with solar contributing 14%
bazsy@lemmy.world 2 weeks agoThe sum of those percentages is 87.5%. So what’s the rest, maybe import from France or Norway?

There are other cables as well. One of them runs through the chunnel. The UK regularly gets upto 10% of its supply from France (seasonal, time, cost dependant)

Yes it’s imports. Norway / France and Netherlands mainly.

There’s a joke in there about the power of hot air but I’m not confident enough in my knowledge of British politics to make it
