Definition of EnergyDefinition of Energy
Energy = Ability to do useful work
What is Energy?
© OECD/IEA 2011
Law of Conservation of EnergyLaw of Conservation of Energy
Energy can neither be created nor destroyed
The total amount of energy in a system remains constant over time
© OECD/IEA 2011
Any socio-economic category needs statistics to operate. This is also true for energy statistics
Households:
electricity consumption of houses,
heating bills,
mileage of cars,
Utility XYZ
A few examples:

Company managersEnergy bills, consumption/tonne, where to save
Even truer for energy companies Refinery: throughputs, stocks Electricity generation: fuel input, electricity production

ImportanceImportance of energy statistics for policy makers
IEA Member countries have an obligation to hold 90 days of stocks (net imports/consumption) Need reliable and timely data on imports, consumption and stocks
OPEC Member countries: production vs quota Need reliable and timely data on production
EU Member countries: obligation to have a minimum share of electricity consumption coming from renewables Need reliable data on renewables
Annex 1 countries to the Conference of Parties: respect of the engagement they have ratified when signing the Kyoto Protocol (70% to 80% of GHG come from fuel combustion) Need reliable data on both supply and demand

Attached is the annual questionnaire which provides for the submissionof 2000 data and a revision of 1999 data where applicable.
Administrations are requested to complete the questionnaire at the latest31 October 2001. However, if data are available earlier, please do not
hesitate to send your questionnaire to the Head of Division, EnergyStatistics, Combined Energy Staff, OECD, who will forward the data tothe United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (Geneva). Inaddition, Member States of the European Union and Candidate Countriesare requested to transmit the completed questionnaire to Eurostat, Headof Unit, Energy Statistics, Bâtiment Jean Monnet, Plateau du Kirschberg,

But, in early 2000’s quality of energy statistics But, in early 2000’s quality of energy statistics was deterioratingwas deteriorating
Completeness More and more data are estimated More and more data are missing and/or confidential Less and less details, more aggregation (CHP, main activity producers
vs. autoproducers, …)
Quality Efficiency of power plants > 100% Subtotals do not add up to totals Large statistical difference (>20%) Breaks in time series - no revisions in time series “Other sectors” often used as a balancing item
Timeliness More and more time to collect, process, check and release data
© OECD/IEA 2011
The reasons for decreasing data qualityThe reasons for decreasing data quality
Liberalisation of the market From one company to hundreds
Confidentiality (linked to liberalisation) More work passed to statistics offices: More companies to survey (liberalisation) Renewables (remote information) Energy efficiency indicators (including socio-economic data) Environment (estimation of GHG emissions, ….)
Resources do not follow work load Statistics still have a low profile, budget cuts
Fast turnover in staff: lack of experience, continuity
New developments make the tasks of statisticians much harder

At the political level: Several presentations on the situation at the IEA Governing Board Transparency and statistics were also high on the agenda of the
Ministerial Meeting in May 2005
At the technical level: Release of an Energy Statistics Manual (together with Eurostat) Training of statisticians from Member / Non-Member countries A series of meetings with Member countries

The momentum was there…..The momentum was there…..
Objectives: To hear from each organisation what they do, what are their
problems and their expectation for more co-operation
To pave the way for more harmonization and for strengthening bilateral and international co-operation
Participants: 24 major regional and international organisations. Both data
providers (IEA, UNSD, OPEC, Eurostat, FAO) and users (WB, IMF, UNFCCC,…)
IEA in consultation with UNSD decided to hold the 1st InterEnerStat meeting (Nov. 2005)

Where is InterEnerStat now?Where is InterEnerStat now?
By the end of 2010 all the minor outstanding points were agreed between groups working on InterEnerStat, OCG and IRES.
These definitions will be guidelines to help organisations to arrive to a common understanding of what is a covered by a particular flow or a particular product.
Definitions have been used in the International Recommendations for Energy Statistics manual of the UNSD, which was approved by the Statistical Commission in February 2011…

A few words to concludeA few words to conclude
Harmonisation will not happen overnight. It needs time, effort, resources and commitment.
The first results have been published that establish the basis for moving further harmonisation forward.
Underlying principle: evolution not revolution. The main objective is to support energy policy and energy analysis.
Thank you
