These are: the Utilities Act 2000 which has laid the foundation for greater competition in energy markets and more effective regulation in the interests of consumers; competition in the UK and Europe; energy and the environment; consumer and social issues, which looks at market competition and fuel poverty. Part 1 also looks at research and development and the work of the Energy Advisory Panel. Part 2 is concerned with the continuing evolution in the industry, with a detailed examination of each sector. Part 3 consists of appendices on: the energy industries in the economy; energy demand and energy efficiency; energy prices. Part 4 includes a list of publications and a glossary.Volume 2 consists of detailed indicators which have been grouped into 12 sections covering different aspects of the energy sector. Of the 12 sets of indicators, the most closely linked to energy policy objectives are those concerned with competitive markets, with safe and secure energy supplies and with sustainable energy supplies. Other indicators are more generally associated with the energy industries contribution to economic development, efficiency and productivity.A booklet, 'UK Energy in Brief' which summarises the latest statistics on energy production, is supplied with this publication.
