Department of Energy and Climate Change Indicator Data
Input Indicators
The indicators set out in this section are only a small subset of the data gathered by the Department which will be made transparently available as outlined in the Information Strategy.
The Department will adopt the following indicators to help the public scrutinise our inputs:

How often will it be published? |
How will this be broken down? |

Impact indicators
Our impact indicators are designed to help the public to judge whether our policies and reforms are having the effect they want. The Department will adopt the following indicators:
