British Gas is the largest retail electricity supplier in Great Britain. Despite a notable decline throughout the years, it still accounted for ** percent of the market as of December 2024. E.ON followed closely, with a market share of ** percent.  Changes in the Big Six  The electricity market in Great Britain has historically been controlled by a few providers, collectively known as the Big Six. These include British Gas, E.ON, SSE, EDF, Npower, and Scottish Power. However, recently, there have been significant changes in their composition. In January 2020, OVO Energy acquired SSE's electricity and gas distribution business, albeit continuing to sell energy under the SSE brand. Meanwhile, Npower was acquired by E.ON in 2019, turning the Big Six into a de-facto Big Five.  Growing competition in the British electricity supply market  In 2010, the Big Six held *** percent of the domestic electricity supply market in GB. To promote a more competitive market, the British energy regulator, Ofgem, enacted a series of market reforms aimed at increasing access for smaller players. The past decade has seen a significant number of domestic customers switching from large electricity suppliers to small and mid-tier suppliers, causing the Big Six’s market share to dip to ** percent in 2024.

Greater awareness about the effects of climate change has driven an aggressive decarbonising strategy spearheaded by renewables. Government targets and incentives encourage major investment in renewable assets among UK energy giants. Technology developments have boosted potential generating capacity, particularly in offshore wind, which has grown the fastest of all renewable energy sources. According to the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero, the share of electricity generated by major power producers from renewables surged from 34.5% in 2019-20 to 42.4% in 2023-24. Renewable generators' revenue is slated to climb at a compound annual rate of 8.7% over the five years through 2024-25 to reach £14.5 billion. Growth has been underpinned by the UK’s rapid expansion of renewable generating capacity. Offshore wind has recorded the most significant expansion in generation volumes as investors look to take advantage of technological advancements to tap into the UK's abundant natural resources. Soaring wholesale prices have added to revenue growth since H2 2021-22; however, operators of renewable generation assets that operate under a Contract for Difference (CfD) have been required to pay back the difference between wholesale prices and CfD strike prices, limiting the impact of a surge in wholesale prices on operating profit. Inflation-linked increases to fixed price mechanisms have also boosted growth. Revenue is forecast to jump by 11.4% in 2024-25. Revenue is forecast to swell at a compound annual rate of 11.1% over the five years through 2029-30 to reach £24.6 billion. The UK already has a strong pipeline of renewable assets set for delivery in the coming years, with ongoing government support likely to fuel further investment. In the short term, increased capacity is set against a backdrop of falling strike prices, though the extent of capacity expansion should support further growth. Hikes in strike prices secured in the most recent CfD allocation round will also boost growth in the longer term. Rising battery storage capacity should help support growth in renewables' share of the UK energy mix by reducing barriers associated with intermittent supplies of renewable power.
