4. The underlying data
 The underlying electrical and natural gas data are available
at a geographical level of Great Britain rather than the United
Kingdom (Northern Ireland is not included).
 The liquid fuels data are available at a United Kingdom level
that includes Northern Ireland.
 All data are sourced from National Grid, Elexon and the
department of Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy.
