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 - Domestic Electricity (LA influence) (8239) Metric type
- Help text
- This is the estimate in kilotonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent (kt CO2e) emissions for domestic 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. Electricity consumption data published on the gov.uk website has been used to map CO2 emissions from electricity generation to the point of consumption. The emissions associated with electricity consumption have been estimated using an average UK factor for the relevant year in terms of kt CO2 per GWh. This average allocates equal shares of coal, gas, oil, nuclear and renewable powered generation to all the electricity consumers and is derived from the UK inventory. Electricity consumption reported in the sub-national dataset does not match exactly with DUKES. This is partly due to the inclusion of some non-domestic users within this dataset. There is some statistical difference between the total electricity sales provided in personal communication by DECC and the published meter point data, this remains unallocated.
