Regional Energy Consumption Statistics
DTI has being developing a suite of regional and local authority based energy consumption data over the past few years. The data is produced to emphasise the importance of local and regional decision-making for energy policy in delivering a number of national energy policy objectives; this was identified in the 2003 Energy White Paper. DTI is committed to collecting and making available data on the pattern of energy use in local areas, enabling local authorities and regional bodies to effectively target energy efficiency related activity.
This area of the website contains data and guidance notes for all the regional, local authority, and middle-layer super output area data that are produced by the DTI.
Feedback from Data Users
To ensure that DTI continues to meet the needs of users of its sub national energy data, the Department wants to encourage data users to give feedback on the usefulness of the information provided on this webpage. As part of this process a short questionnaire is available, which can be accessed from 'Related Documents'.
Helping Users Interpret the Data
To aid user's understanding of the datasets provided, a guidance note has been written to explain how the data were collected, compiled and advice on how they should be interpreted (see 'Related Documents').
Available Datasets
Follow the links below for access to all available datasets:
Combined Regional Front-end
Alternatively, instead of accessing each dataset individually, all available datasets for 2002, 2003 and 2004 data can be viewed in one place by using the Combined Regional Front-end files shown below. Data can be viewed quickly and easily without downloading separate files. Users can filter for individual local authorities or regions as well as comparing several areas at once over any of DTI's sub-national datasets. This can be accessed through the link below.
Please note: this workbook requires users to download the file onto your hard drive and "Enable macros" before it will work correctly.
CO2 estimatesDefra have also released experimental 2003 estimates of local (NUTS4) and regional (NUTS1) CO2 emissions by sector. These estimates have been produced by AEA Energy & Environment (formerly Netcen), using much of the DTI local and regional energy consumption statistics as base data, and are available on the Defra website (see 'External Links').
Future work
DTI have a work programme in place to develop additional analysis of regional and local authority data. For further information please contact the project manager, Julian Prime on 020 7215 6178, or at julian.prime@dti.gsi.gov.uk
