Annual statement of emissions for 2015, Domestic energy bills in 2016 and other BEIS statistical releases

[ALEO Admin]

On 30 March 2017, BEIS published its eighth annual statement of emissions, required under section 16 of the Climate Change Act 2008, setting out the steps taken to calculate the net UK carbon account in respect of 2015.

The statement shows that, in 2015, net UK emissions were 495.7 MtCO2e. This is a 38% reduction in GHG emissions from 1990 year and includes 32% reduction in Carbon Dioxide and 61% in Methane.

BEIS have also published the following:

Domestic energy bills in 2016: The impact of variable consumption
Summary: Actual annual gas and standard electricity bills have fallen from 2015 to 2016, by 5.5 and 0.6 per cent respectively. This is primarily due to decreases in gas prices in 2015 and 2016, and decreases in consumption of electricity. Combined annual actual bills are at their lowest since 2011 at £1,134. When controlling for seasonal variation the long term trend of decreasing energy consumption has continued, though actual gas consumption in 2016 did increase on the previous year due to colder average temperatures.
