Insights into BAE Systems's Energy Inflows & Self-Sufficiency
In 2023, BAE Systems reported total energy inflows of 2.79 million Gigajoules, which corresponds to the company's full energy needs, including energy consumed, redistributed, sold, or stored. This energy inflow was composed of 2.78 million Gigajoules purchased from external suppliers and 7,502.4 Gigajoules generated through internal production. This corresponds to a production share of 0.27%, reflecting a 39.66% percentage point decrease from the previous year (2022) and a 470.93% percentage point decrease since 2018.
Although BAE Systems's production share has remained steady in the most recent year, it has declined compared to earlier periods. This suggests a long-term trend toward reduced self-production, possibly reflecting changing investment priorities or greater reliance on external supply networks.
