Founded in 1974

• Formed in wake of 1973 oil embargo with mission to promote member country energy security -- autonomous agency of the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD)

29 member countries

• Asia Pacific: Australia, Japan, Korea and New Zealand

• North America: United States, Canada

• Europe: Austria, Belgium, Czech Rep, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Slovak Republic, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey and United Kingdom

• European Commission also participates in the work of the IEA

• Chile is in the process of accession to become members of the IEA

Headquarters: Paris

Decision-making body: Governing Board

• Consists of member country representatives

• Under the Governing Board, several committees are focusing on each area

Secretariat:

• Staff of around 240, mainly energy experts and statisticians from its member countries

Legislative

basis

© OECD/IEA 2014

High quality data on energy are difficult to obtain

Energy

universe

Laws and authoritySurveysDatabases/

infrastructureExpert staff

© OECD/IEA 2014

It requires well-defined systems and procedures at the national level

Laws or regulations to compel reporting from all sectors;

Well designed production and consumption surveys;

Fixed and agreed timetables for data submissions

Administrative agreements to get other data (e.g. energy trade);

Enough qualified staff to process the data;

Good relationships with reporters so you can ask questions about the data;

User-friendly and flexible data systems for processing and reporting

The benefits of high quality data are significant

Help design sound energy policy

Develop and track meaningful indicators of energy trends;

Track historical trends accurately;

Make plausible forward-looking projections;

Build reliable greenhouse gas inventories

Help ensure energy security, minimize the impacts of energy shocks

Compare against other similar countries

Anticipate and react to energy markets

Some examples: energy efficiency

From 1974 to 1990,

energy efficiency

contributed to 2%

per year to maintain

growth

From 1990 to 2008 it

contributed to less

than 1% per year

So, why little when much more should be done?
