Following consultations with users this publication is no longer being updated. Further details are given at the bottom of this page.
“Energy - Its Impact on the Environment and Society” draws on statistical information from the Digest of UK Energy Statistics and other BERR and Government statistical publications to draw a picture of the key trends in energy statistics. It includes information on emissions and other environmental consequences from energy production and supply, and the social impacts of domestic competition, service quality issues and fuel poverty. The publication shows, through figures and charts, where we have come from, where we are now, what the policy challenges are, and the current responses.

Review of this publication
“Energy - Its Impact on the Environment and Society” was updated annually by the Department of Trade & Industry (DTI, now BERR) between 2002 and 2006. Two hard copy editions (released in 2002 and 2005) were been supplemented with a comprehensive range of material and analysis available on this webpage. In other years, a summary internet-only edition was produced.
Given the development of new publications such as the annual progress reports on the 2003 Energy White Paper and associated Energy Sector Indicators, and the considerable resources required to update “Energy – Its Impact on the Environment and Society” two consultations with users were held during 2007 to determine the demand for updates. Response rates to these consultations were disappointing and as a result BERR have decided not to update this material in the foreseeable future.
The vast majority of the information previously published in “Energy – Its Impact on the Environment and Society” is still updated elsewhere on the energy section of the BERR website. However if you are having difficulty finding it, please contact Jennifer Knight or 020 7215 6490 for assistance.
