Energy White Paper 2003: First Annual Report

In 2003 the Government published 'Our Energy Future – creating a low carbon economy' which defined a long-term strategic vision for energy policy combining our environmental, security of supply, competitiveness and social goals.

On 26 April 2004, we published the report 'Creating a Low Carbon Economy - First Annual Report on Implementation of the Energy White Paper':

• Creating a Low Carbon Economy - First Annual Report on Implementation of the Energy White Paper (403KB)
  URN 04/384
• Creu economi carbon-isel: Adroddiad blynyddol cyntaf ar weithrediad y Papur Gwyn ar ynni (421KB)
  URN 04/384W

This re-affirms the Government’s commitment to the four objectives set out in the 2003 Energy White Paper, to:

• cut carbon dioxide emissions
• maintain reliable energy supplies
• promote competitive energy markets and
• ensure homes are affordably heated

It sets out the progress made to date and summarises the practical steps already taken in pursuit of the long-term goals.
