National Grid’s Future Energy Scenarios (2019) estimate that GB is likely to require less energy in 2032 than at present. For 2019 the forecast energy requirement is estimated to be between 989 and 1051 TWh/year, in 2032 the amount of energy required falls to 755 – 1000 TWh/year. Actual peak demand for 2019 will be available at the end of February 2020.
