• The energy mix in the UK reflects the fact that it has a strong economy and so needs a variety of energy sources for industrial production, electrical production, transport, and domestic use.
• The UK uses a mixture of fossil fuels (oil, gas and coal), nuclear energy and renewable energy (eg solar, wind and hydroelectric power).
• Households are using less energy due to improvements in heating and heat conservation technologies such as
  • insolation
  • triple glazing.
