Energy use

Our non-generation energy use is dominated by our gas-fuelled compressors on our UK gas transmission network. Other major users of gas and electricity are our LNG sites and the Isle of Grain LNG import terminal.

During 2008/09, we used approximately 4.9 billion kWh of gas and electricity across our operations.

In addition, our US generating facilities used approximately 16.6 billion kWh of gas and 460 million Litres of fuel oil.

There is no direct comparison bewtween 2008/09 and previous years due to the first time inclusion of ex-KeySpan operations.
