This small team of 3 individuals is responsible for the development and compilation of data on energy consumption, particularly at a sub-national level. Some of the statistical work produced by the section can be viewed on the DECC website at http://www.decc.gov.uk/en/content/cms/statistics/regional/regional.aspx
and http://www.decc.gov.uk/en/content/cms/statistics/publications/ecuk/ecuk.aspx The student will provide a wide variety of support including: - Developing and maintaining both new and existing linked spreadsheet systems and databases for the compilation of energy consumption data
- Compiling and presenting data as charts and tables for the incorporation into quarterly and annual publications
- Writing articles on energy consumption statistics for quarterly publications
- Gaining experience in researching and presenting information on individual subjects
- Contributing to the development of analyses of trends in energy demand and energy efficiency, including the production of indicators
- Statistical analysis of energy data, particularly relating to sub-national energy consumption
- Being the first port of call for queries on energy consumption and sub-national statistics

The student will gain knowledge of the energy sector, both by learning on the job and by attending DECC school seminars (with the option of obtaining a Level 1 certificate in ‘Energy and Climate Change’ after attending 7 seminars). The post holder will also develop their interpersonal and team working skills as well as gaining an understanding of the running of a large government Department.
