    Abstract
    The data comes from the Electricity, Gas and Water Supply Iindustry Large Sample Survey by StatsSA which aims to provide financial, production, employment and related information for the electricity, gas and water supply industry in South Africa. The survey was conducted irregularly. This survey is based on a complete enumeration of private and public enterprises contributing to the top 99,5% of the industry turnover and adjustment factors were applied to compensate for the units contributing to the bottom 0,5% of industry turnover. Results of the survey are mainly used within Stats SA for benchmarking the gross domestic product (GDP) and its components. These statistics are also used by government to make decisions on industry policies and plans, and in monitoring the performance and contribution of individual industries to the South African economy. The private sector uses the data to analyse comparative business and industry performance.
