Horrific is in the eye of the beholder, but the UK's energy situation is unimpressive. I'd call it horrific, it looks like they've been in a state of acute crisis since around 2000.

> They're on trend to drop below the world average for energy availability per capita too according to ourworldindata.com
it's not energy availability. it's energy use. and yes, energy use should come down worldwide over time.
Yet your link shows the UK at number 4. And I note number 1 is Ireland.
Statistia comes up a lot, but the free content always feels like it's an ad for their paid stuff.
That being said, China & India are managing <10c/kWh for ~1 billion people each. I feel pretty safe claiming that the UK does indeed have a horrific problem making electrons move through wires. 500% cost increase above par is an uncomfortable statistic.
