Monitoring indicators
ENERGY SUPPLY
This page is dedicated to tracking Devon’s progress in transitioning to a sustainable and resilient energy system. We monitor key indicators such as renewable energy generation, energy consumption, and the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions from energy sources. The aim is to use less energy, transition to renewables, increase flexibility and storage, and develop carbon capture and storage.
