<p>We continue to make progress towards our renewable energy target of 15% final energy
consumption by 2020. Provisional figures show 6.3% of final energy consumption came
from renewable sources for 2013 and 2014, against a target of 5.4%.</p><br /><p>Progress
on renewable electricity generation has been particularly strong with over a quarter
of electricity generated, between April and June this year, coming from renewable
sources.</p><br /><p>The Spending Review will be announced on 25<sup>th</sup> November,
and a Department for Transport consultation will be running next year on increasing
the amount of renewable transport fuel. We will carefully consider the impacts of
both on the UK’s progress towards the renewables target of 15%, including whether
there will be a role for trading.</p><br />
