FOI REF: FOI-2023-1463
You asked
I am seeking up to date statistics by UK Country for Average annual Turnover in £'s and number of employees for the renewable energy industry. Your latest figures I have only go up to 2018. I also want the same figures for companies/plants generating electricity in each of the 4 UK Nations from fossil fuel sources.
We said
Thank you for your request.
Our latest estimates for the renewables sector are available from our Low Carbon and Renewable Energy Economy (LCREE) Survey, covering the period from 2014 to 2021: Low carbon and renewable energy economy estimates - Office for National Statistics (ons.gov.uk). This includes estimates of turnover and employment (full time equivalent) by LCREE sector and country.
We do not produce equivalent statistics for fossil fuel sources. The Department for Energy Security and Net Zero publication UK Energy in Brief includes information on the contribution of these industries to the UK economy and trends in employment. Their FOI team can be contacted at foi.requests@energysecurity.gov.uk.
