Energy in Northern Ireland

Overview

Published biennially, the Energy in Northern Ireland report aims to provide a comprehensive and accessible overview of key statistics and information relating to energy in Northern Ireland. The report endeavours to present a disparate range of existing and emerging information and statistics into a single coherent source. The majority of statistics and data included are National Statistics or Official Statistics sourced from producers such as the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero (DESNZ), the Northern Ireland Statistics and Research Agency (NISRA) and the Office for National Statistics (ONS) among others.

Due to resource pressures and competing priorities, the 2024 report comprises a shorter infographic-based headline overview with supporting commentary in comparison to previous reports. It is hoped that the sixth report, due in 2026, will revert to the fuller format as of previous years.
