1. Downloaded the dataset from Kaggle.


2. Imported the dataset into Excel and cleaned the data by merging each day into the year by using the average

Excel Yearly Average


Using =AVERAGE(Column Value, Last Column Value) Example:(C:C) would give the average National Demand for 2009-2024.


3. I then refined the average data to be more understandable with importing into talbeau

Excel Yearly Average Clean Excel Yearly Average Clean


4. I Also found the price of electricity by downloading the price data from the UK Government website.


5. Since i now know both the Demand and Price of electricity, I could now compare them by year and visualise it in tableau


6. In Tableau, I imported the cleaned average data set which had all the information needed to create the dashboard above.


7. I made the tableau dashboard interactable by allowing the user to select the specific year which then filters by that year. (Unfortunately I can only export the project as a pdf/png)


8. From the data I have analysed, I can see that on average national demand has deceased since 2009 from 35K to 26K
While price per kWh has increased from ~10p in 2009 to ~26p in 2024 and Solar and Wind Generation has increased.
Aswell as the introduction of various European interconnections to the UK. (France, Netherlands, Denmark, Norway.)
