Energy: Imports
(asked on 13th June 2016) - View Source
Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:
To ask the Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change, what estimate she has made of the cost of energy imports by the UK in each of the last five years.
The Office for National Statistics publishes estimates of the value of trade according to internationally agreed classifications (SITC), with category 3 comprising most energy products (coal, crude oil, oil products, gas and electricity). This data is republished by DECC in table G7 of DUKES, and shows estimates of the value of energy trade. The table is reproduced below:

2011 | 61.8 | 42.7 | 19.1 |
2012 | 65.3 | 43.7 | 21.6 |
2013 | 61.5 | 42.7 | 18.7 |
