State of the Climate for the UK Energy Sector 2023-24

The RMetS State of the Climate for the UK Energy Sector report provides a clear and concise overview of how weather impacted the UK's energy industry between January 2023 and April 2024.

For weather and climate professionals who may be less familiar with the energy sector, this report offers valuable insights into how weather events impact infrastructure and energy supply and demand.

Energy sector stakeholders will also benefit from the report, as it offers a 16-month perspective on key challenges and impacts, helping to inform future planning and operations for a weather-resilient UK energy sector.  

By summarising the weather conditions that led to disruptions and highlighting the most significant events, the report serves as a vital resource for shaping future policies—particularly regarding renewable energy development and resilience planning.

We wish to thank the volunteers who contributed their time to this project.
