In Energy consumption in the United Kingdom (ECUK), we have brought together statistics from a variety of sources to provide a comprehensive review of energy consumption in the UK since the 1970s, with a particular focus on trends since 1990. The information is presented in five sections: overall energy consumption, energy consumption in the transport sector, energy consumption in the domestic sector, energy consumption in the industrial sector and energy consumption in the service sector.
The data in ECUK are classed as National Statistics and are presented in five Microsoft Excel workbooks (one for each section):
These data were last updated in July 2009, with a number of time series being revised from previous editions of ECUK.
Energy consumption in the United Kingdom was last published as a full document in July 2002. The document includes an analysis of the factors behind the changes in energy consumption and the impact of increasing activity, increased efficiency, and structural change in the economy.
To give us feedback on any aspect of ECUK, please email Laura Williams or call 0300 068 5045.
A user guide has been produced to explain the technical concepts and vocabulary found within the E CU K tables. The document can be viewed as a single PDF document below:
