This information is not compiled on a regional basis. This is because in some regions the information would relate to a small number of power stations and would thus disclose data given to this Department in confidence under the National Statistics Code of Practice. However, separate data for Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland and England have been made available for 2004 and 2005. Corresponding 2006 data are due to be published in December 2007. The available data are as follows:
