Summary

The Quarterly Fuels Inquiry is a data collection on prices of fuels purchased by a changing panel of around 600 companies in the manufacturing industry.

Description

The Quarterly Fuel Survey (QFI) collects data on fuel prices paid by non-domestic consumers in the manufacturing industry in Great Britain. The data is used for policy and briefing purposes and aggregated data are published in the Quarterly Energy Prices publication. Data on the values and volumes purchased are collected for coal, gas oil, heavy fuel oil, electricity and gas. The survey itself is predominately collected online. There are just over 600 respondents to the survey, which represents less than one percent of the total possible reporting units in the entire manufacturing sector in Great Britain. The sample is based on the "Production SIC07" code site; with respondent information obtained from the Inter Departmental Business Register (IDBR). The panel is updated annually in the Q1 collection of each year.
