The information sought was traditionally published by NBST and is thus now a matter for Eolas. I have been informed by Eolas that figures for 1988 are not yet compiled and that the 1987 figures are: Rational Use of Energy, £140,000; Fossil Fuels, £99,000; Renewable Energy Sources, £327,000; Others, £103,000.
