Wind generation is king, apparently. I'm curious what the imports consist of, presumably natural gas but it's not indicated; however it doesn't seem to have that big of a reliance. | ||

I think the imports refer to power transfers to/from other countries along interconnectors? https://www.nationalgrid.com/national-grid-ventures/intercon... | ||

The electricity maps site calculates the carbon intensity of the grid imports and lists it on the map and the country specifically views (click for more info): https://app.electricitymaps.com/map/72h/hourly As a general rule, the imports are imported because they are cheaper and generally cheaper means cleaner. | ||

We import from France mostly, via the interconnects between our countries' grids. That means it's probably mostly nuclear. |
