Preliminary estimates of exports in the UK Low Carbon and Renewable Energy Economy, published by the Office for National Statistics (ONS), show that the value of total sector exports was £3,840 million in 2015. The value of exports from the low carbon electricity subsector in 2015 was £330 million, which is equivalent to 8.6% of the total sector exports.
