About this data

Source: DESNZ, Total final energy consumption at regional and local authority level: 2005 to 2024; ONS mid-year population estimates

• Energy is counted where it is used: industry and businesses by the location of their meters, and road transport by where vehicles travel, not where their drivers live. So areas with large industrial sites (such as steelworks and refineries) or busy motorways use much more energy per resident. The City of London's figures are very high because few people live there.
• Aviation, shipping and some energy industries aren't included. National and UK totals include energy that can't be allocated to a local authority.
• Local authorities as they were in 2023.
