An inaugural "annual energy statement" was accompanied by forecasts for the next 40 years, which "show an 80% cut in emissions is achievable and compatible with keeping the lights on".

- Saving energy through the Green Deal and supporting vulnerable consumers
- Delivering secure energy on the way to a low carbon energy future
- Managing energy legacy responsibly and cost-effectively
- Driving ambitious action on climate change at home and abroad
