The Department of Energy and Climate Change is responsible for all aspects of UK energy policy, and for tackling global climate change on behalf of the UK.

Global climate change and energy

We are working internationally to tackle the global challenge of climate change, and to achieve international agreement at Copenhagen in December 2009. As the UK imports more energy, we also want to ensure our supplies are secure, reliable and from a wide range of sources.

UK energy supply

We want the UK to enjoy a diverse and low-carbon energy mix, through an appropriate market framework to ensure competitive prices.

Supporting consumers

We want to help you save money and save the environment by, among other things, improving energy efficiency and addressing fuel poverty.
A low-carbon UK

We are working to help the UK moves towards a low-carbon economy, using carbon budgets and other mechanisms.
 
 

Following a major consultation in 2008, we have now published our

Renewable Energy Strategy

. The Strategy sets out how we can increase our use of renewable energy to help tackle climate change and help secure our future energy supplies. Our target is to source 15 percent of our energy (electricity, heat and transport) from renewable sources by 2020.

The Renewable Energy Strategy is a key part of the Government’s UK Low Carbon Transition Plan.
