The 2006 UK Energy Review was launched on Monday 23rd January [1].

The establishment of the review was announced on November 29, 2005. It will be led by Energy Minister Malcolm Wicks [2]. Wicks has said the review will make its recommendations sometime in the summer [3].

At the start of the review, a consultation document called Our Energy Challenge was published. According to The Guardian, this "sets out five key questions that the energy review [Wicks] chairs will consider" [4].
