The New Zealand Energy Use Survey (NZEUS) collects and publishes statistics detailing the energy used by the New Zealand economy. Businesses are asked to provide information on how much energy they use. Individual data is aggregated to give published data at industry and national level for different energy types. These energy types include electricity, petrol, diesel, coal, natural gas, renewable energy types, and more.
NZEUS surveys a sample of all businesses in New Zealand. This is done over three years, with about a third of New Zealand's full economy sampled and surveyed in each year of a three-year cycle. The approximate break down is as follows:
- Primary industries (agriculture, forestry, fishing, and mining)
- Manufacturing, construction, trade, and transport
- Services (accommodation, communication, education, and administration)
The specific need for this data has been identified in the Energy Domain Plan (EDP) a collaboration among Statistics NZ, MED and EECA. The EDP identifies priorities in the field of energy statistics and information. The information delivered by NZEUS will help fill gaps in current energy statistics and provide a benchmark of energy use information for New Zealand businesses. It will also provide data to update modelling systems that provide energy-use estimates and future demand forecasts.
