In the UK there are two measures of renewable energy consumption, an Environmental Accounts figure produced by the Office for National Statistics (ONS) and a Digest of UK Energy Statistics (DUKES) figure produced by the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS).

The data presented below are based on the Environmental Accounts figures. For more information about the two sources, please see the Other Information section of the National Metadata at the bottom of this page.
