Table 7.3 Ministry of Defence Energy Consumption

Target: Government departments to source at least 10% of total electricity needs from renewable sources by 2010/11.

Target: Government departments to source at least 15% of total non-operational electricity needs from Combined Heat and Power by 2010/11.

The detailed breakdown of 2008/09 energy figures were unavailable at the time of publication.

The 2007/08 figure for renewable energy is lower than the previous year (8% compared to 9%) because of the inclusion of more of the MOD overseas estate, which is in some extremely remote locations such as the Falklands, Gibraltar and Ascension where the application of renewables and Combined Heat and Power (CHP) is more difficult, and the local infrastructure limits outright purchase of such supplies.

The data in this table are not National Statistics because they have not been assessed as such by the UK Statistics Authority.

1. Water is provided by Aquatrine, an MOD-wide Water and Wastewater PFI project delivered through three separate contracts known as 'Packages'. Package
    A covers the Midlands, Wales and South West England, Package B Scotland, and Package C the North and East of England. Aquatrine provides water to over
    4000 site groups, which is approximately 85% of MOD consumption.
