In 2008, this was just over a quarter, whereas in 2010, it slipped to nearly a sixth before climbing to 20% in 2012. The following figures shows a consistent demand, where it got stagnated at 10% in both 2014 and 2016. The average electricity demand of the people of the UK over this period (2008 to 2016) was nearly 17%.

Between 2000 and 2006, though the demand was nominal, the trend was increasing. This ranged from three to six. Only a mere 3% of the total population in the UK demanded electricity in 2000, whereas the figure rose to 5% after a couple of years. A phase of demand stability followed till 2004, and by 2006, it climbed to 6%. The average electricity demand of the residents of the UK during this period (2000 to 2006) was nearly 5%.
