This folder contains data and reports from the LEUKES project - Local Engagement in UK Energy Systems. LEUKES was funded by the Research Councils' UK Energy Programme as part of the UK Energy Research Centre (UKERC) research programme and the Energy Technologies Institute (the ETI) and was carried out by the University of Edinburgh. The research team were Professor Janette Webb, Ms Margaret Tingey and Dr David Hawkey, Sociology, School of Social and Political Science, University of Edinburgh.

The LEUKES project aims were to examine the current and future contribution of local governments to changing energy production, supply and use with a primary focus on providing knowledge about the extent of local engagement in energy initiatives under current institutional structures; and, identifying local energy governance and business models being developed.
