Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, what the (a) value was of exports of electricity and (b) cost was of imported electricity in 2021.

Data on electricity trade up to the end of September 2021 is available in Energy Trends table 5.6, at https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/electricity-section-5-energy-trends

Full year figures will be published on 31st March 2022.

The value of imports and exports of electricity to and from Great Britain can be calculated using interconnector flow data and electricity wholesale prices available from Elexon (https://www.bmreports.com/bmrs/?q=generation/avghalfhourIC/historic and https://www.bmreports.com/bmrs/?q=balancing/marketindex).
