This web site summarises the results of an ongoing study undertaken by AEA on behalf of the UK Department for Business, Enterprise and Regulatory Reform (BERR) to update a database containing information on all relevant renewable energy sources in the United Kingdom. BERR has taken over energy policy responsibilities from the former Department of Trade and Industry (DTI).

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

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.
