The Government has recommended that all businesses ensure they are prepared, enacting their own \u2018no deal\u2019 plans as they judge necessary.

We estimate that the proportion of electricity produced in the UK (gross total electricity supplied) which will be generated by non-renewable means over the next five years is as follows:<\/p>
2016 75%<\/p>
2017 71%<\/p>
2018 68%<\/p>
2019 66%<\/p>
2020 62%<\/p>
This excludes electricity supplied from other countries via interconnectors.<\/p>
The above data is taken from the reference scenario in Annex J of DECC\u2019s 2015 Energy and Emissions Projections. This and other scenarios with differing economic growth and fossil fuel prices are available online at:<\/p>
