Welcome to the website of the DTI’s Energy Group. We provide a wide range of information and guidance under the main topics listed in the menu on the left, including regularly updated statistics and data on energy usage and trends. If you are interested in the work that the Group does in particular sectors please choose from the sector home pages linked to from the tabs at the top of the page or for an overview please see our organogram (PDF 18 Kb).

On 24 February the Government published its Energy White Paper "Our energy future - creating a low carbon economy". It accepts the need to reduce carbon dioxide emissions significantly and provides the long-term framework to deliver our environmental, security of supply, competitiveness and social goals. In reducing carbon dioxide emissions, our priority is to strengthen the contribution of energy efficiency and renewable energy sources. While open and competitive markets will remain vital to delivering the energy we need.

Achieving the goals and individual commitments set out in the white paper requires close integration across departments and much wider. To make this a reality the white paper announced the creation of a Sustainable Energy Policy Network (SEPN), a network of policy units from across government departments, the devolved administrations, regulators and key delivery organisations that are jointly responsible for delivering the White Paper.
