Abstract

Provision of sufficient, affordable and secure energy is very crucial for modern economies. Countries across the world are facing energy challenges one way or the other. This article discusses the present energy scenario of the UK and the emerging challenges it is facing. Various options available to address these challenges have also been analysed in terms of energy security and diversity in the supply mix in order to determine the most appropriate solution to promote energy sustainability in the UK.
