Statistical data set

National Energy Efficiency Data-Framework (NEED) data explorer

The data explorer allows users to investigate energy consumption comparisons by different property and household characteristics.

The data explorer allows users to create bespoke cross tabs and charts on consumption by property attributes and characteristics, based on the data available from NEED. Two variables can be selected at once (for example property age and property type), with mean, median or number of observations shown in the table. There is also a choice of fuel (electricity or gas). The data spans 2008 to 2022.

Figures provided in the latest version of the tool (June 2024) are based on data used in the June 2023 National Energy Efficiency Data-Framework (NEED) publication. More information on the development of the framework, headline results and data quality are available in the publication. There are also additional detailed tables including distributions of consumption and estimates at local authority level. The data are also available as a comma separated value (csv) file.
