This statistic shows the decline in fossil fuel dependence in the United Kingdom (UK) from 1970 to 2017. Fossil fuel dependence describes the proportion of energy consumption attributable to fossil fuels. Figures amounted to 96.5 percent in 1970 and fell to less than 92 percent in 1985. As of 2017, dependency was at 80.1 percent.
