The IEA at a glance

Formed in the wake of the 1973 oil embargo with a mission to promote Member country energy security

Carved out of the OECD, but remains within the OECD framework as an autonomous body with its own Executive Director who reports to MC’s

Decision-making body: Governing Board comprised of member-country energy ministers, or their senior representatives.

Staff of around 220, primarily energy experts and statisticians

Energy statistics – the importance of training and capacity building

Energy statistics are fundamental for sound energy policy

There are major problems with energy statistics Timeliness (2 to 3 years time lag is not rare)

Completeness (missing data, estimation, aggregation, etc.)

Quality (gaps in time series, totals which do not add up, “huge” statistical

differences, etc.)

There is a growing need for additional statistics Renewables

Energy efficiency indicators

GHG emissions

So it is important to build proper capacity in energy

statistics before any major energy policy actions

© OECD/IEA 2010

Issues with energy statistics in many countries

There is an obvious lack of resources to work on

energy statistics

The number of statisticians has remained stable (at best) , however

more and more work is passed on to statisticians (e.g. renewables,

efficiency, environment)

Market liberalisation has put more burden on

statisticians and has reduced transparency:

More companies to survey

Confidentiality issues

New market mechanisms: transit, spot prices, swaps, etc.

Fast turnover in energy statisticians affects continuity

and reduces overall expertise and competence

© OECD/IEA 2010

IEA’s work for improving energy statistics

Raising the level of awareness of policy makers.

Their support is essential - without proper resources it is unlikely that

progress can be achieved.

Preparation of an Energy Statistics Manual (with Eurostat)

Helping newcomers in energy statistics to better understand definitions and

methodologies

Launch several initiatives

(JODI, InterEnerStat, etc.) for enhancing harmonisation and cooperation

between international organisations (IEA, UNSD, OLADE, OPEC, APEC,

Eurostat, WB,…)
