62. The supply and the demand- side of energy policy
are divided across government in line with the recommendation
of the former Energy Committee. The Department for the Environment,
Transport and the Regions is responsible for energy efficiency,
including the promotion of CHP, and the Department of Trade and
Industry is responsible for energy supply, including renewable
energy sources. The DTI has a Minister for Energy while in the
DETR energy efficiency is regarded as integral to the Environment
Minister's brief and that of a supporting junior Minister. Other
departments have interests as the Figure overleaf demonstrates.
