Table 7.3 Ministry of Defence Energy Consumption1
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 2010/11 energy figures were unavailable at the time of publication.

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

1. Energy consumption data include electricity and other forms of energy such as heat, oil and gas.The energy data collected include MOD overseas estate where available but do not include data from the following MOD agencies: UK Hydrographic Office, Meterological Office and Defence Support Group.
2. The 2007/08 percentage for renewable electricity 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.
