<p>Departmental officials advise that exchange rates are one of the factors which
influence future energy imports and their cost. For example, the cost of importing
gas is also affected by the availability and cost of a range of gas supplies, infrastructure
constraints and global and regional demand. The cost of importing electricity to the
UK through its interconnectors with other European countries is also influenced by
the electricity generation mix in Europe, by gas, coal and carbon prices and by the
level of electricity demand in the UK and other European countries.</p>
