From Energy Statistics for Scotland – Q3 2025 published yesterday, the above chart and:

Total gas consumption in Scotland in 2024 was 41.7 TWh. This is down 30.2% from the 2005-2007 baseline figure when 59.8 TWh of gas was consumed (the baseline is the average consumption from 2005-2007; Figure 1).

Gas consumption in the domestic sector in Scotland was 25.1 TWh in 2024. This is a 27.7% decrease compared to the 2005-2007 baseline when 34.7 TWh of gas was consumed (Figure 1).

In 2024, 16.6 TWh of gas was consumed in the non-domestic sector. This is down 33.6% compared to the 2005-2007 baseline when 25.1 TWh of gas was consumed (Figure 1).

Total gas consumption in Scotland in 2024 was down 2.4% compared to 2023 when 42.7 TWh of gas was consumed. The gas consumption  decreased in both the domestic sector (0.2% decrease) and non-domestic sector (5.5% decrease; Figure 2).

How much gas was produced?

41.7 TWh used. How much produced? 180 – 200 TWh, so a trade surplus in one year of around 140 – 160 TWh.

How much is that worth? £7 to £11 bn.

Let’s see what the surplus electricity was worth? Next.
