The amount and cost of energy used by Communities and Local Government and its executive agencies in each year since 2004-05 is detailed in the following table. To provide data prior to 2004-05 would represent disproportionate costs to the Department.

Mandatory cross-Government targets require Departments and their agencies to reduce carbon emissions from offices by 12.5 per cent. by 2010-11 against 1999-2000 levels and to source at least 10 per cent. of electricity from renewables by 31 March 2008. Performance is reported annually as part of the Sustainable Development in Government (SDiG) process.
The latest assessment of Government's performance against these targets was published by the Office of Government Commerce (OGC) on the 18 December 2009, and is available on the OGC website

Information on reporting years prior to 2008/09 was collated and published by the Sustainable Development Commission (SDC) and can be found on the SDC website
