LEGGI: London Energy and Greenhouse Gas Inventory

London Energy and Greenhouse Gas Inventory (LEGGI) 2011 provides estimates of energy consumption and carbon dioxide emissions for the Greater London area. The inventory is produced annually by the Greater London Authority to track progress against the Mayor's Climate Change Mitigation and Energy Strategy. It covers emissions and energy use from Homes, Workplaces, and Transport sectors.

Use Cases

• Tracking progress against climate policy targets based on annual emissions estimates.
• Analyzing sectoral contributions (Homes, Workplaces, Transport) to London's greenhouse gas emissions.
• Modeling energy consumption patterns using data on electricity, gas, and other fuels.
• Benchmarking local authority performance within Greater London using sub-regional data.

Strengths

• Produced by the authoritative Greater London Authority for official policy measurement.
• Integrates data from multiple official sources, including DECC sub-regional energy data and the London Atmospheric Emissions Inventory.
• Represents a confirmed, final version of the annual inventory for the stated year.

Limitations

• Specific column names, row counts, and dataset size are not provided in the available metadata.
• The listed 'last updated' date of 2026-07-08 is inconsistent with the 2011 data year, suggesting a potential metadata error.
• Descriptions are identical across entries, limiting insight into year-on-year methodological changes or specific 2011 findings.
