Did you know we have a dedicated powers and duties tool?
Available to LG Inform Plus subscribers, it provides information on what current legislation gives English and Welsh councils the power to do and what it requires them to do in law. Advanced searching and filtering options make it easy to find specific powers and duties based on legislation, business function and keyword, and results are easily exported in commonly used formats.

CO2 emissions estimates - Industry and Commercial Electricity (LA influence) (8233) Metric type
- Help text
- This is the estimate in kilotonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent (kt CO2e) emissions for industry and commercial electricity within the scope of influence of Local Authorities.
The full dataset includes all emissions that occur within the boundaries of each local authority; the subset however excludes emissions that authorities do not have any direct influence over, these include: Motorways; EU Emissions Trading System sites; Diesel railways; Land use, Land Use Change, and Forestry (all emissions belonging to the LULUCF Net Emissions). Removing these emissions has a much bigger impact on some Local Authorities than others, as some Local Authorities have a much bigger proportion of emissions from the above sources than others. The emissions associated with electricity consumption are estimated using an average UK emission factor for the relevant year in terms of kt CO2 per GWh. This average allocates equal shares of coal, gas, oil and renewable powered generation to all of the electricity consumers and is derived from the UK inventory. Annualised electricity consumption data was compiled at meter point using Meter Point Administration Number (MPAN) level data. This data product is compiled by agents of the electricity suppliers, who collate/aggregate electricity consumption levels for each MPAN. The locations of these meters were determined from the Gemserv database supplied by ECOES (Electricity Central Online Enquiry Service). Where the address information was not available in the Gemserv database the Royal Mail Postcode Address File (PAF) was used to obtain a full address and postcode and reduce unallocated consumption.
Each meter is allocated a profile class, which enables consumption of domestic customers (profiles 1 and 2) to be identified from the consumption of industrial and commercial customers (profiles 3 to 8). In addition, profile 1 and 2 meters are reallocated to the industrial and commercial sector if annualconsumption is greater than 100,000 kWh. Also re-allocated to the industrial and commercial sector are those consuming over 50,000 kWh with address information indicating non-domestic consumption.
