I imagine in this period the electricity consumption has also increased. It would be interesting to see the raw power outputs from each rather than the percentage. The decline in nuclear power in the 2000s and the renewables from about the 40s could easily be stationary in terms of output but new demand was being filled by coal/gas.

What are the main imports for UK? It's impressive just how quickly we have phased out coal in the last 8 years, but our gas reliance is still high.
