This web site summarises the results of an ongoing study undertaken by AEA on behalf of the UK Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC) to update a database containing information on all relevant renewable energy sources in the United Kingdom.

This database is called RESTATS, the
Renewable Energy STATisticS database.

DECC took over energy policy responsibilities from the Department for Business, Enterprise and Regulatory Reform (BERR) on 3 October 2008.

The study was initially supported by the Statistical Office of the European Communities (Eurostat) whose objective was to encourage the collection of renewable energy statistics across all EU Member States to a standard format.

DECC's energy statistics web site is currently hosted by BERR.
