2009 Renewable Energy & Energy Efficiency Industry Census
Last year through the work of NCSEA, North Carolina became the third state in the nation to quantify and track our state's renewable energy and energy efficiency businesses and jobs. And now, it's that time again! Through the end of June, NCSEA will conduct an online survey of our state's more than 1,000 businesses for the "2009 North Carolina Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency Industry Census."
Businesses will receive an email from our staff, which will include a link to the online survey. Some businesses may also receive a duplicate paper survey if our staff was unable to confirm an email contact. It is very important for all businesses to complete either the online survey or the paper survey by June 30th to ensure their responses are included in the final report, which will be announced in October. North Carolina's elected officials, economic developers, business leaders, the media and others rely on this valuable information and are anxiously awaiting the updated results.
The inaugural 2008 survey was a huge success - garnering both local and national coverage and we are excited to repeat this success in 2009. Click here to view the "2008 Renewable Energy & Energy Efficiency Industry Census."
The goal of the project is to better understand the employment and industry dynamics of North Carolina's renewable energy and energy efficiency businesses. The year's Industry Census will examine company sizes, core competencies and employment dynamics. The survey is 25 questions and will take approximately 15 minutes to complete. Survey responses and contact information are kept confidential. The survey results and any additional analysis are made available only in aggregate.
