Natural gas is the greatest contributor to the United Kingdom's power mix. In 2019, it accounted for a 40.9 percent share of all electricity produced. Renewable sources have slowly eaten away fossil fuel shares, making up 36.9 percent of the electricity mix as of 2019. This translated into a production output of 119.3 terawatt hours, roughly 13 terawatt hours less than generation by gas-fired turbines.
