Description

The statistics on energy use in manufacturing describe the use of energy in manufacturing by energy source, industry and region.

Data content

The statistics contain data on the energy use of establishments according to fuel, electricity and heat, industry and region. Because the data describe business activity at the unit level, their use and disclosure are subject to general rules on confidentiality. The statistics compiled from the data are public under the condition that no individual establishment’s data can be identified from them.

Classifications used

The data are classified by Statistics Finland’s classifications of fuels, economic activities and regions.

Data collection methods and data sources

The data on energy use in manufacturing are collected from all establishments deemed as significant from the point of energy consumption and establishments using unusual fuels. Collecting of data from other enterprises employing at least 10 persons is based on sampling. Data on the use of energy are also collected at set intervals from a sample of establishments of enterprises employing fewer than 10 persons. The establishments of the sampled enterprises may vary from year to year.

The data sources used are data collected by Statistics Finland or other bodies, such as the data of the electricity and heat production inquiry and the VAHTI/YLVA data of environmental administration, Motiva’s energy efficiency data, and those derived from the data collected by the Energy Authority and the Finnish Energy Industries.

Direct data collecting is carried out with an annual inquiry. The inquiry can be answered via the Internet by filling in an electronic questionnaire that establishments can access with the password and user ID they have received by post. The web pages also contain a facility for printing out a paper questionnaire that can be mailed to Statistics Finland.
