Department of Energy & Climate Change

The Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC) was created in October 2008 to take responsibility for the government’s energy policy and climate change mitigation policy. On 14 July 2016 it was merged with the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills to form the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy. DECC’s announcements, publications, consultations and statistics may still be accessed here on the GOV.UK web site.
