The Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC) has collected and published energy consumption data within the Digest of UK Energy Statistics since 1948. Over recent years there has been a greater focus on more detailed information to help support policy development. To support this, DECC has created the National Energy Efficiency Data-Framework (NEED). This a data framework made up of data from difference sources. Annual gas and electricity consumption data are matched, at an individual property level, with information about energy efficiency measures installed at the property and property attributes. The Framework was first announced in the Heat and Energy Saving Strategy in 2009 and was developed by DECC in order to assist DECC in its business plan priority to 'save energy with the Green Deal and support vulnerable consumers'. It forms a key element of DECC's evidence base supporting DECC to: develop, monitor and evaluate key policies; identify energy efficiency potential which sits outside the current policy framework; develop a greater understanding of the drivers of energy consumption; and gain a deeper understanding of the impacts of energy efficiency measures for households and businesses. Regular outputs from NEED are published by DECC and available on the gov.uk National Energy Efficiency Data-Framework (NEED) webpage.

The Department for Business, Energy & Industrial Strategy has also made an anonymised version of the dataset available for analysis by a wider audience to help support these aims. The anonymised dataset includes meter point gas and electricity consumption data; information on energy efficiency of households including measures installed; and property attributes. This is available on the gov.uk National Energy Efficiency Data-Framework (NEED): anonymised data webpage.

The National Energy Efficiency Data-Framework (NEED) was set up to provide a better understanding of energy use and energy efficiency in domestic and non-domestic buildings in Great Britain. The data framework matches gas and electricity consumption data, collected for BEIS sub-national energy consumption statistics, with information on energy efficiency measures installed in homes, from the Homes Energy Efficiency Database (HEED), Green Deal, the Energy Company Obligation (ECO) and the Feed-in Tariff scheme. It also includes data about property attributes and household characteristics, obtained from a range of sources.

The Distribution Future Energy Scenarios (DFES) outline the range of credible futures for the growth of the distribution network, and represents the first step in the National Grid Electricity Distribution (NGED) investment planning process. More information can be found at National Grid - Distribution Future Energy Scenarios. The yearly DFES publications can be viewed at National Grid - Distribution future energy scenarios regional information for each of NGED’s licence areas, and include review and methodology documents, as well as stakeholder engagement reports. A visual representation of the scenarios is available in the form of an interactive map at National Grid - Distribution Future Energy Scenarios Map. The data files below contain tabular data related to the latest DFES publication, comprising: Load profiles for various technology types (DFES Profiles), including, for each year, the proportion of customers projected to be following either flexed or unabated profiles (DFES Profile Splits). Annual energy consumption and generation for each Local Authority under each DFES Scenario, detailing the percentage of demand met by renewable distributed generation (DFES Energy Projections). Season, time, and power (MW) of annual peak demand for each year, ESA and scenario (DFES Power Projections). This data can also be viewed on our DFES map. Scaling factors applied to the profiles, to account for energy efficiency and changes in technology use over time (DFES Annual Scaling Data). Projected volumes of each DFES technology, reported to Local Authority level (DFES Volume Projections by Local Authority). This data can also be viewed on our DFES map. Projected volumes of each DFES technology, reported to an electricity supply area level (DFES Volume Projections by Electricity Supply Area (ESA)). This data can also be viewed on our DFES map.

This dataset from National Grid ESO contains historical electricity demand data for Great Britain from 2009, updated every half-hour (48 entries per day). It is available in three versions: yearly files, a merged file for 2009–2025, and a cleaned version with NaNs removed and hourly timestamps.

Key columns include:

Date & Time: Settlement date and half-hourly settlement period. Demand Metrics: National Demand (ND), Transmission System Demand (TSD), and England & Wales Demand. Renewable Estimates: Embedded wind and solar generation and capacity. Additional Data: Pump storage, various interconnector flows (e.g., IFA, Moyle, NSL), and a holiday indicator.

This geospatial data is a combination of Great Britain's 4436 primary substation service areas which have been parsed into a single shapefile for energy systems analysis. The original component datasets were provided by the six distribution network operator (DNO) companies in Great Britain (National Grid Electricity Distribution, Electricity North West Ltd, Scottish and Southern Electricity Networks, UK Power Networks, Scottish Power Energy Networks and Northern Power Grid). Attribution is given to the original data owners at each of these six DNOs and the resulting dataset from this work has been created and published under an open licence with each DNO's permission. The data is available to download as two geojson files in the WGS84 coordinate system. One is a streamlined version which just contains the polygons along with a unique primary identifier (UPID), primary substation name, DNO licence area and local authority. The other contains the polygons along with richer energy data which was aggregated to the primary substation level from publicly available Department for Energy Security and Net Zero, Office for National Statistics and National Grid ESO datasets. This data is also available to download in tabular form as a csv file. The meter numbers and consumption values are the means of those reported from 2015-2020. The substation polygons were those as received or publicly available as of the time period of this study (2021-22). The pre-print manuscript of the methodology used to create this dataset can be found on arXiv at: https://doi.org/10.48550/arXiv.2311.03324 Funding to support this work was received from the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EP/W008726/1) under the Gas Net New project and the Alan Turing Institute's Science of Cities and Regions Programme. Thanks are also given to the contributors of QGIS and the Geopandas Python library, both of which were used in this analysis.

The Annual Gas and Electricity Consumption at Meter Level, Great Britain, 2004-2022: Secure Access study includes annual gas and electricity consumption data at an individual property level, covering England, Scotland and Wales from 2004 onwards. Both domestic and non-domestic properties are included. Full postcode is available, as well as a property reference number which can be used to match to other sources from the National Energy Efficiency Data-Framework (NEED).
