The Ministry of Fuel and Power Statistical Digest was previously published as a Command Paper, the first being that for the years 1938 to 1943, published in July 1944 (Cmd. 6538). A publication tracing the history of energy production and use over the past 60 years was produced in 2009 to mark the 60th anniversary of DUKES. The publication is available at: www.gov.uk/government/statistics/digest-of-uk- energy-statistics-dukes-60th-anniversary II The current issue updates the figures given in the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy’s (BEIS) Digest of United Kingdom Energy Statistics 2017, published in July 2017. III This publication consists of seven chapters and four annexes. The first chapter deals with overall energy. The other chapters cover the specific fuels, renewable sources of energy and combined heat and power. The annexes cover conversion factors and calorific values, a glossary of terms, further sources of information and major events in the energy industries. IV Some additional information appears on the internet. The tables on the internet are provided in Microsoft Excel format. Most internet versions of the tables include data for earlier years, which are not provided in this publication. For example commodity and energy balances (see VII and VIII, below) for 1998 to 2014 are included on the internet, and tables that show five years in this publication show twenty years in their internet form because page sizes are not a limiting factor. In addition, the following appear on the internet: Long term trends tables Major events from 1990 to 2018 - Annex D (only Major events for 2016 to 2018 appear in this publication) Energy and the environment – Annex E UK oil and gas resources - Annex F Foreign trade – Annex G Flow charts – Annex H Energy balance: net calorific values – Annex I Heat reconciliation – Annex J V Annual information on prices is included in the publication Energy Prices. The data are also available on the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) section of the GOV.UK website. Further information on these publications can be found in Annex C. VI Where necessary, data have been converted or adjusted to provide consistent series. However, in some cases changes in methods of data collection have affected the continuity of the series. The presence of remaining discontinuities is indicated in the chapter text or in footnotes to the tables. VII Chapters 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 contain production and consumption of individual fuels and are presented using commodity balances. A commodity balance illustrates the flows of an individual fuel through from production to final consumption, showing its use in transformation (including heat generation) and energy industry own use. Further details of commodity balances and their use are given in Annex A, paragraphs A.7 to A.42. VIII The individual commodity balances are combined in an energy balance, presented in Chapter 1, Energy.
