explain the differences in their energy mix (25) The energy mix is the different uses of energy that country uses. The UK does not have a balanced energy mix‚ some sources of energy are oil‚ gas‚ nuclear‚ coal and hydroelectric power. The main sources of energy come from oil and gas this is because there are reserves in the north sea‚ however production of oil and gas peaked in the 1990s but has since fallen. Gas production and oil are the main sources of energy. Gas fell from 9400 million cubic
