The Office of Rail and Road publishes information about delivered electrification, which can be found here: https://dataportal.orr.gov.uk/statistics/infrastructure-and-emissions/rail-infrastructure-and-assets/table-6320-infrastructure-on-the-mainline/.

Responsibility for rail infrastructure in Scotland and Northern Ireland is a devolved matter.
