Methodology

UK Energy Projection uses the same historical cache as the Historical and Records pages, then builds a simple trend model from the most recent complete annual data. The page is designed to update automatically whenever the historical cache is rebuilt.

The three scenarios use the same baseline with different trend weights. Conservative reduces recent trend movement, Expected follows the recent trend, and Accelerated increases recent trend movement.

These projections are modelled from Live Grid Data historical trends. They are not official NESO, Elexon, government or market forecasts.
