بر اساس مطلبی که امروز اینجا می خواندم بر اساس گزارش های منتشر شده حدود سه درصد از انرژی مصرفی در انگلستان در سال 2009 از منابع تجدید پذیر بوده است. این عدد در سال پیش از آن 2.6 و در سال 2007 حدود دو و دو دهم درصد بوده است. در بخش انرژی برق بیش از شش درصد برق توزیع شده در این کشور از منابع تجدیدپذیر تولید شده است. جزییات بیشتر این گزارش را در مطلب اصلی مطالعه کنید.

The figure - which includes renewables used for transport and heat as well as electricity generation - is up from 2.6% in 2008 and 2.2% in 2007.

When measured using the slightly different methodology of the 2008 EU Renewable Energy Directive - which measures energy on a net calorific value basis and includes a cap on fuel used for aviation - this equates to 3% of energy consumption coming from renewables.

This is up from 2.4% in 2008 and 1.8% in 2007 and means that the UK is now one-fifth of the way towards meeting its Directive target to produce 15% of its energy from renewable sources by 2020.

The data was contained in a special feature, entitled ‘Renewable Energy in 2009' which was published by DECC yesterday (June 24) alongside its June edition of Energy Trends and Quarterly Energy Prices.

The article updates information on renewable energy published by DECC in June 2009, looks at the latest position and provides the first look at the statistics on renewable energy production and use in the UK in 2009. It also breaks down energy generation by source and type - including electricity, heat production and renewable fuels.
