Two interesting reports have been published recently, Energy Trends from the DTI updated with 2005 Quarter 2 data and Winter Outlook Report 2005/06 from Ofgem. These two reports contain a wealth of data on the UK energy market past, present and looking forward to the winter. However I am less impressed with the analysis and conclusions drawn from the data. This is part two of the article and discusses the Energy Trends report, in part one I discussed the Winter Outlook Report here: UK Energy Part 1: The Winter Outlook.
