How has electricity consumption changed over time? What about production? Wikimedia Commons

How does electricity consumption vary across the week? WHY ? Source:

DEMAND = PRODUCTI ON CCGT= combined cycle gas turbines Source:

CCGT= combined cycle gas turbines How do different sources of electricity compare to each other? Source: Nuclear energy production is very steady. Wind energy production is very variable, as it depends on the weather. CCGT is used to match up the difference between demand and production.

Pictures from Wikimedia Commons How does electricity go from the power station to your home?
