1. The step change in the lights and appliances consumption between 2004 and 2005 was
caused by revisions made to the underlying electricity consumption use (from the Digest of UK
Energy Statistics) back to 2005. Before the next update of ECUK, DECC will review the
underlying electricity data prior to 2005.

1. The total does not include heat sold and renewables.
2. The step change in the lights and appliances consumption between 2004 and 2005 was
caused by revisions made to the underlying electricity consumption use (from the Digest of UK
Energy Statistics) back to 2005. Before the next update of ECUK, DECC will review the
underlying electricity data before 2005.
3. Includes oven and hob energy use only.

1. Data in this table are modelled independently from other tables
in Energy Consumption in the UK.
2. The electricity consumption data for cooking was not included
in the Market Transformation Programme this year as they

considered that the data were insufficiently robust. Therefore, the

data seen here are those which were provided to the Department
of Energy and Climate Change last in 2008.
3. An MFD is a printer that provides additional
functionality, such as scanning, faxing and copying,
historically provided by separate machines.

1. Energy Service Demand reflects changes in the level of comfort and lifestyle requirements of households.
2. Specific energy consumption is defined as the energy required to maintain a particular level of energy service in households
It is a modelled alternative to energy intensity, and takes account of changes in demand for individual energy services
(such as level of household comfort or hot water use).

1. The Energy Efficiency Commitment was a set of obligations set out by Ofgem, requiring certain gas
and electricity suppliers to meet an energy saving target in domestic properties.
2. The first phase of EEC (EEC1) ran from 2002 to 2005.
3. The second phase of EEC (EEC2) ran from 2005 to 2008, and these figures exclude the carryover from EEC1.
4. Modelled energy savings, as defined in the Energy Efficiency Commitment obligations.
