<p>The Government publishes the Digest of UK Energy Statistics (DUKES) on an annual
basis. Table 6.7, ‘Renewable sources used to indicate progress under the 2009 EU Renewable
Energy Directive’ (below) has the latest proportion and the breakdown of renewable
energy sources- including electricity, heat, and transport:</p><p> </p><table><tbody><tr><td><p>
