Verdict

Keyless Excel workbooks on GOV.UK from DESNZ. Use it for sector and end-use splits that the quarterly uk-energy-trends does not give. Licensed OGL-UK-3.0: the page says "All content is available under the Open Government Licence v3.0, except where otherwise stated". Rate limits: Not stated. Signal Lab links only.
