Energy sector statistics

DECC publishes energy statistics on a monthly, quarterly and annual basis. We produce all of these statistics in Microsoft Excel 2000 format.

For the methods used to compile the figures and data, see methodology notes on each energy source webpage and The Energy Statistics: Explanatory notes

Statistical information is broken down into the following categories:
 

The United Kingdom Statistics Authority has designated these statistics as National Statistics, in accordance with the Statistics and Registration Service Act 2007 and signifying compliance with the UK Statistics Authority: Code of Practice for Official Statistics.

Designation can be broadly interpreted to mean that the statistics:

  • meet identified user needs
  • are well explained and readily accessible
  • are produced according to sound methods, and
  • are managed impartially and objectively in the public interest

Once statistics have been designated as National Statistics it is a statutory requirement that the Code of Practice shall continue to be observed.
