However, a number raised concerns that the Performance League Table was not fit for purpose in its current format, saying that it did not accurately reflect performance due to its reliance on the early action metric in the first year, and that the way in which it was presented was not effective in engaging the media, investors and participants. Government is aware of participants’ concerns around the league table and, as such, has decided not to publish a league table ranking participants on the basis of the energy efficiency savings from 2013. Instead, the Environment Agency will publish participants’ aggregated energy use and emissions data."
