Annual Energy Statement 2010
In the Coalition Programme for Government, the Government committed to producing an Annual Energy Statement (AES) to provide market direction, set strategic energy policy and help guide investment.
The first statement was delivered to Parliament on 27 June 2010.
The second AES was delivered in November 2011.
To emphasise the Department’s priorities, the Annual Energy Statement split into four sections:
- Saving energy through the Green deal and supporting vulnerable consumers
- Delivering secure energy on the way to a low carbon energy future
- Managing our energy legacy responsibly and cost-effectively
- Driving ambitious action on climate change at home and abroad
The Annual Energy Statement takes the long-term visions provided by the 2050 pathways analysis (published alongside the statement) and uses them as the context for setting out a series of concrete actions to take forward Coalition Programme commitments on energy and climate change. These show how the Department is building on the progress already made, while re-emphasising the importance of urgency.
