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 25th July 2006 we published our 3rd annual progress report.

Creating a low carbon economy - third annual report on implementation of the energy white paper   (370Kb)

This sets out progress made to date and summarises the way ahead to achieving the four goals of energy policy:

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