Description:
The dataset contains the microdata used to produce the published Low Carbon and Renewable Energy Economy (LCREE) Survey 2023 estimates. It also includes revised data for turnover, employment, imports, exports and capital assets for periods 2021, 2022 as well as the latest 2023 data. Unrevised data for periods 2014 to 2020
are also available on SRS.
The LCREE Survey samples approximately 25,000 UK businesses using the InterDepartmental Business Register (IDBR) as the sampling frame. All businesses with 250 or more employees are selected, together with a random sample of businesses from each of the other strata, defined by two-digit SIC 2007 industry, country, and employment size-band. The sample is supplemented with a small number of businesses that are known to be unique within one or more of the LCREE sectors but do not have large enough employment to be selected as part of the census strata. These businesses are allocated to a reference list.
Questionnaires are sent to the selected businesses. Respondents are asked if the business operates in any of the 17 LCREE sectors. If so, they are then asked to report the turnover, imports, exports, employment, and capital assets for any of the LCREE sectors they have operated in during the reference period.
