HC Deb 01 March 1983 vol 38 c80W
Mr. McKelvey

asked the Secretary of State for Energy how much of the United Kingdom's total end-use energy is in electricity; and how much of that total end-use energy is provided by nuclear power.

Mr. John Moore

The latest available information is for 12 months to September 1982 in which electricity's share of all end-use energy was 13.6 per cent.

Electricity is distributed through a common network and losses cannot be allocated precisely to sources or consumers. On the basis of electricity available for distribution, it is estimated that about 15 per cent. of end-use electricity during the period was provided by nuclear sources.
