Analysis by energy source
This graph allocates the capacity of each energy technology by user type.
It shows that all of the AD capacity has been registered by industrial users. Unsurprisingly almost all of the micro-CHP (which is limited to 2kW), is for domestic users.
An interesting factor is the small but growing contribution of community renewables.
Average system size by user class
The national average system sizes are shown here, but there are substantial variations between different user types, as illustrated in this grap
