Employment in the Wind and Marine Renewable Energy Sector

Survey, July 2017

This survey is designed by Renewable UK to collect information from businesses working within the wind and marine renewable energy sector in the UK. The data will only be used to assess the current levels of employment and productivity in the sector which RUK will be publishing later this year.

For the purpose of this questionnaire the marine renewable energy sector refers to the energy sector carried by wave and tidal technologies.

When we refer to “this company” we mean the actual company you work for, not any parent companies or subsidiaries.

Throughout, unless otherwise specified, figures cover the last full financial year – this may be the calendar year (e.g. 2016), or the tax year (April 2016 to March 2017) depending on the period by which your company reports its accounts.

If you do not know or are not able to determine the exact figure for any of the answers, your best estimate will be sufficient.Please answer as many questions as possible to help increase the quality of our statistics. You may need to speak to colleagues to get some of the information as it covers a number of areas of the business. We can facilitate this coordination and support multiple phone calls to the different departments concerned if required.

This document is 8 pages long and contains 3 sections and 22 questions:

  • Section A: Company Classification
  • Section B: Employment and Productivity
  • Section C: Skills

Please send the completed survey to before Friday 15th September
