  • Postcodes updated to Feb 2020
    A lot of people are unaware that the UK’s 1.7 million postcodes are subject to changes – new additions, deletions and restorations every 3 months by the Ordnance Survey. And really quite a lot. We’ve just had 2,650 new additions, 1,103 deletions and 809 restored postcodes. You can always check how up to date on […]
  • UKCrimeStats still updating
    As long as there is data to upload to our system, we will keep updating. No coronavirus problems – touch wood – with us. It’s an interesting question though, how will the level and type of crime change during this period? One hopes of course that it will go down and there’s a good chance […]
  • Crime updated to January 2020
    Still no Greater Manchester Police data from July 2019 onwards – this does seem to be taking them a really long time, so please take what looks like really low crime in that area for that time period into account. On a separate note, we are also moving to ONS codes for all our subdivisions […]
  • Offering GoCardless as well as Paypal for UKCrimeStats subscriptions

GoCardless is an increasingly popular automated direct debit system, doesn’t require an app and can be a lot less trouble than a recurring Paypal payment.

    From July 2019 onwards, see here . I should add this is not our fault but according to our source data from: https://data.police.uk/changelog/ “Greater Manchester Police: Due to a change in IT systems no crime or outcome data is available from July 2019 onwards. The force are working to rectify this issue and provide the […]

  • Now planning for the 2019/20 Season
    We’ve had a break and now getting back to work to bring you more energy events, old-fashioned networking and cutting edge energy data research. Stay tuned – program to be announced shortly.
  • Will the lights go out?
    Here’s a short youtube video from a seminar we held on this a few years ago. Glad to say they haven’t – yet !
  • Powerpoint slides from last night – The Future of Gas and Electricity Storage
    An excellent evening – special thanks to all our speakers who have also kindly agreed to share their slides – just click on the links; Keith Budinger of Halite Alistair Steele – SSEPD – Energy storage overview – London Asheya Patten of Pöyry
  • Read Sir Ian Byatt on the Past, Present and Future of Energy Market Regulation
    Sir Ian kindly shared with us a written version of his talk from our event on the 12th November 2013. You can read it here http://www.future-es.com/2013/11/sir-ian-byatt-on-the-past-present-and-future-of-energy-market-regulation/.
  • Keeping an eye on UK Power Consumption with Gridwatch
    I love this website – which allows you to see in realtime not only how much power is being used but which power stations are providing it. It would be interesting to be able to overlay prices too.
