Distribution grids, mini-grids and interconnectors and Energy in buildings

Energy flows from distribution grids, mini-grids and interconnectors to energy in buildings; their prices have moved together.

Distribution grids, mini-grids and interconnectors (energy) and Energy in buildings (energy): 2 relationships.

How they are linked

1. Energy flow

Physical flow · 47.8% of flow · Distribution grids, mini-grids and interconnectors → Energy in buildings

Local networks deliver power to homes, shops and offices.

• 47.8% of Distribution grids, mini-grids and interconnectors's energy goes this way

2. Price link: grid cost

Cost and price · Strong · Both ways

Poles, wires, switchgear and substations make up a growing share of household bills. The switchgear proxy correlates at 0.78 yearly with the electricity price, consistent with grid spending being passed through to tariffs.

• 0.14 monthly change correlation
• 0.78 12-month change correlation
• 0.59 fitted elasticity
