The results are over 50% lower than previous estimates, and should mean that concerns over increased peak load due to electrical heating may be unfounded. In other words it should be easier to transition away from gas for domestic space heating.

I was surprised by the lack of heat demand in the NO and NE regions, but it seems they must be relatively lightly populated areas, judging by the per household figures in the supplementary information.

Population density certainly plays a big part but I suspect the age of the building stock may be the determining factor. Anyone got any studies on how this is distributed across the UK?

Or perhaps it's to do with which properties received gas in the big push to domestic roll out from 1930's-1950's. Perhaps London got theirs first, so now has the oldest and leakiest pipes? (similar to our tube network compared to other capital cities)]]>
