The Energy Data Centre is a hub for publically funded energy research in the UK. It holds information on energy projects, publications and gives access to research datasets.

image for blog post titled: New Collection: the outputs of the Centre for Research into Energy Demand Solutions

The Centre for Research into Energy Demand Solutions (CREDS) ran from 2018 to 2023. Their research demonstrated how reductions in energy use are essential for the transition to a fair, zero-carbon society. With agreement from the CREDS team, the EDC have curated the publications and gathered together information on CREDS outputs into a new Collection to aid in the discovery of the outputs of this research Centre.

image for blog post titled: P114 data updated

The P114 dataset supplied by Elexon has accurate data on the balancing and settling of the UK electricity market. The Energy Data Centre gives access to the data to a group of universities who have signed an agreement. Every quarter the EDC team download and process the data and this has been done in July for data up to 30/06/2024.

image for blog post titled: New EDC publications searching interface released

The EDC publication search and browse functionality has been updated and enhanced to give a better user experience. Publications from different parts of the system have been brought together to form a single discovery service which gives access to over 1600 reports, consultation responses and other material from the UK Energy Research Centre, the Energy Technologies Institute and other projects. Publications can be browsed by energy category, subject and document type and there is comprehensive search functionality. Results can be filtered by these categories and dates.
