Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change, what estimate she has made of the proportion of UK energy consumption which will be supplied from other countries in each of the next five years.

The Department of Energy and Climate Change does not produce projections of the proportion of UK total energy consumption which will be supplied from other countries.

However, the Oil and Gas Authority publishes projections of UK oil and gas import dependency (defined as net oil and gas imports as a percentage of UK oil and gas demand).1

These projections for 2016-2021 are given in the following table.
