Development of energy balance statistics VIET NAM Development of energy balance statistics Fourth Project Support Meeting Bangkok, Thailand | 13 November 2017

Outline of Presentation What is the motivation of the project? What are you trying to achieve? What issues have you faced? And how do you intend to overcome them? What is your plan to progress the project (including timelines)? What have you learnt from the project so far? How does this affect RPES? (See slide notes below) How does this affect RPES? This slide varies depending on the nature of the presentation. For countries that are presenting on the projects not part of the RPES (Bangladesh, Lao PDR, Nepal and Timor Leste) the slide presents an opportunity to identify how the RPES could support the current project or how the project could be used to help other project country members – a case study for regional dissemination for example. For countries presenting on an RPES project (Bhutan, Cambodia, Maldives, Myanmar, Sri Lanka and Viet Nam) the focus is on “how do the lessons affect future project implementation”. This can be for your country perspective or recommendations for the RPES project and other countries considering similar projects.

Motivation / Achieve Building an energy indicator Improve and update data source for energy consumtion (enterprise/household) Making a energy balance 2015

Issues / Overcome International experience on building energy balance Lack of data on energy consumption (enterprise / household) for making energy balance Develop and complete the questionnaire Sampling method

Issues / Overcome ESCAP support for GSO Vietnam as following: 2 National consultants Translate of materials (reports, guidelines..) Invite international consultans coming to the in –country workshop for sharing knowledge and comment.

Plan to Progress / Timelines Initial assessment and identification of relevant national experts [Nov 2017] Selection of national experts (2) The GSO will provide an initial assessment on the current energy balances and statistics including information on all data sources, data processes and methodologies currently used. GSO will provide staff as focal points to work with the natinal experts.

Plan to Progress / Timelines Detailed assessment [December 2017] The National experts with GSO support will conduct a detailed assessment, both in-country and through electronic communications, of the current energy balances and statistics including data sources, data gaps, methodologies and key users. This information will help determine priority areas including those related to relevant SDGs, notable SDG 7 on affordable and clean energy. The national experts will provide a report on the finding of this assessment as well as recommendations for addressing the data gaps and priority needs.

Plan to Progress / Timelines First workshop and formulation of work plan [December 2017] The national experts will use the detailed assessment report to facilitate the first in-country workshop to discuss key issues and establish a work plan to address these issues. GSO will provide facilities and support for the workshop. Other key government stakeholders including agencies providing and using data should also participate in the workshop.

Plan to Progress / Timelines Implementation of the work plan (Phase 1) [december 2017 to March 2018] GSO will work on implementing the proposed work plan with regular feedback and support from the national experts. A key output of the activities will be the production of a draft improved energy balance.

Plan to Progress / Timelines Second workshop [March 2018] The national experts will facilitate an In-country workshop with the GSO to review the progress on the work plan including the draft improved energy balance. The workshop will also provide information sharing and training for the staff of the GSO as well as other data producers. GSO will provide facilities and support for the workshop.

Plan to Progress / Timelines Implementation of the work plan (Phase 2) [March 2018 to September 2018] GSO will complete the implementation of the proposed work plan with regular feedback and support from the external/ national experts A key output of the activities will be the production of a final improved energy balance. Another key output is a long-term plan for continuous development of energy statistics and balances and sustained production of energy statistics and balances annually, quarterly or monthly depending on the needs and resources of GSO.

Plan to Progress / Timelines Documentation and reporting [October 2018 to December 2018] GSO and the nation experts will draft a report to document the substantive issues and procedures work on during the project for regional knowledge sharing including through presenting in global and regional forums. ESCAP will provide funding for the translation of documents and, subject to funding availability, may also support the attendance of GSO staff to selected international forums to present the project and its results.

Lessons learnt Develop and update of energy statistics and balance annually, quarterly Complete the data source for consumsion energy by sector Develop a roadmap and plan for the implementation of SDGs sustainable development indicators
