The UK Industrial Resilience Chain

How energy supply underpins the UK economy

This interactive tool shows how UK energy supply connects to refining, chemicals, and medicines.

It explains how changes upstream can create knock-on effects across industry, public services, and everyday life. Each step is backed by evidence from government, Parliament, and independent bodies, with the option to explore the data in more detail.

The aim is to make complex industrial links easier to understand and support informed discussion about resilience and long-term choices.
