Moffatt Associates devised a set of research questions and methodology to explore and evaluate trends in business energy costs, actions taken by companies to increase energy efficiency and the views of industry on the likely business implications of EU and UK energy policy. This was the first time that any serious attempt had been made to analyse the impact of rising energy costs on UK business.

Since 2005, Moffatt Associates has researched and built a UK business contact database covering 500 major energy users and 1000 SME’s. Every year we track trends by carrying out 200 in-depth interviews with senior energy management managers across a representative sample of public and private sector organisations.

This survey is widely used by the UK Government, Ofgem and industry as the benchmark reference for how industry is managing energy efficiency and carbon emissions reductions. Our UK business users survey is publicised widely and is the most comprehensive survey of its kind in the EU.

The survey is currently sponsored by RWE npower in association with the Major Energy Users Council (MEUC) and the UK Federation of Small Business (FSB).
