Low Carbon and Renewable Energy Economy Survey, 2014-2019: Secure Access

The <em>Low Carbon and Renewable Energy Economy Survey</em> (LCRES) is an annual survey designed to collect information from businesses working within the green economy, including low carbon and renewable energy activities. UK government departments and devolved administrations will use this information to assess and develop policies relating to green job creation, potential growth and investment opportunities both nationally and regionally. The LCRES was conducted for the first time in 2015, for the reporting year 2014. Continuity between the first and second year of the survey was ensured with minimal changes made to the questionnaire in the second year.<br> <br> The survey provides a number of high-level indicators of Low Carbon and Renewable Energy Economy (LCREE) activity such as turnover, number of businesses, imports, exports, employees and capital assets. Results from the LCRES can be used to show business activity in 17 specific sectors which can be aggregated into 6 LCREE groups.<br> <br> All businesses with an employment of 250 or above are selected, together with a random sample of businesses from each of the other strata, defined by 2-digit SIC 2007 industry classification, country and employment size-band. Businesses that are randomly sampled are generally expected to remain in the sample for 2 years.<br> <br> Further information about the LCRES is available on the <a href="https://www.ons.gov.uk/economy/environmentalaccounts/qmis/lowcarbonandrenewableenergyeconomylcreesurvey">ONS</a> web pages.<br> <br> <strong>Latest Edition Information</strong><br> For the sixth edition (November 2021), the 2014-2018 data files have been updated and now include an Enterprise Reference variable (entref). Also a new data file for 2019 has been added. The documentation has been updated with a replacement user guide covering 2014-2019 and the latest Quality and Methodology Information Report.<br>

**低碳与可再生能源经济调查（Low Carbon and Renewable Energy Economy Survey，LCRES）**是一项年度调查，旨在收集绿色经济领域（涵盖低碳与可再生能源相关业务）企业的相关信息。英国政府部门与地方分权行政机构将利用该调查数据，评估并制定涉及全国及区域层面绿色就业创造、潜在增长与投资机遇的相关政策。该调查于2015年首次开展，对应报告年度为2014年；为保障首次与第二次调查的连续性，第二年仅对问卷做出了极小调整。

该调查提供多项低碳与可再生能源经济（Low Carbon and Renewable Energy Economy, LCREE）活动的核心指标，包括营业额、企业数量、进出口额、雇员人数及固定资产。调查结果可用于展示17个特定细分行业的企业活动情况，这些行业可归类为6个LCREE组别。

所有雇员人数250人及以上的企业均被纳入样本，同时从按两位数标准产业分类2007版（SIC 2007）、国别及雇员规模区间划分的其余层级中，随机抽取企业样本。随机抽选的企业通常会在样本中保留2年。
