I’ve created an energy data group for data sets that show UK energy use and supply and costs over at CKAN.
This group contains the obvious data sets including:
| Dataset Name | Description | Time Period | Available? |
| DUKES | The Office of National Statistics yearly report that shows the life cycle of energy production, transformation and energy industry use through to final UK energy consumption. | We have DUKES for the past 60 years at least | In PDF |
| Low carbon transition plan for 2020 | The Department of Energy and Climate Change’s plan for a 32% reduction from 1990 levels of carbon emissions, by 2020. All policy based planning, for emissions, including laws, regulations, investments and schemes. | 2009 to 2020 | In PDF. |
| UK government investment in energy infrastructure costs | HM Treasury’s Country Regional Analysis report spending codes that cover reduction in carbon emissions research, investment in low carbon and fossil fuel technology and workers support, transport, and protecting forestry. | Spending for the past 5 years at present. | In XML also in an open source data store with the Where Does My Money Go? |
There are some neat relationships between these data sets that I will describe in another post soon.
