1. 24.6.2003 Energy statistics and National Energy Balance in Finland

2. 24.6.2003 2 Background The first energy statistics were compiled by the Ministry of Trade and Industry for 1965-1975 Energy statistics and balances were largely based on the data collected by branch organisations of the energy sector Compiling of Energy statistics was moved to Statistics Finland in 1992 Development of emission calculating model, Ilmari started in 1994 Development program of energy statistics (1995-1997) Production of Energy statistics and emission inventories have been in the same unit (Environment and energy) since 1997

5. 24.6.2003 5 National Energy Balance National energy balances are compiled using aggregated data from branch organisations of the energy sector Top-down estimates from several, partly overlapping, surveys Revisions are made in next statistical cycle The method for calculation the total primary energy supply was changed in 1997 Changes in methodology have enhanced the comparability with internationals energy statistics Balance structure is now very close to that of IEA
