abstract
This article uses maps to highlight key changes in the UK's major electricity generation capacity since 1920 at a regional level. It uses data from chapter 5 of the Digest of United Kingdom Energy Statistics (DUKES) as well as the 2023 Energy Trends article 'UK Electricity Capacity and Generation by Fuel between 1920 and 2020'. It focuses on the shift from coal dominance in 20th century to the rise in renewables in the 21st. The maps in the article demonstrate the relationship between different capacity types and their location within the UK, including the move out of cities to rural locations and the different location requirements of new renewable technologies.
