This data does not seem consistent with other sources. There are no active oil-fired power plants in the UK, for example, and there hasn't been for a long time.

This data does not seem consistent with other sources. There are no active oil-fired power plants in the UK, for example, and there hasn't been for a long time. (There are some that were built as oil-fired plants but were later converted to natural gas CCGT)
ourworldindata also seems to be overstating bioenergy by a huge margin. According to reliable sources[1], biomass supplied 20.83 TWh in 2021, not 39.11 TWh. I'm not sure what difference in methodology could account for such a big variance?
