2 ENERGY STATISTICS COMPILERS MANUAL and Future work in The Oslo Group The time plan will be to have ESCM finalized in 2012. This may be too ambitious ? The total time plan: –IRES UNSC 2011. Final publication for release spring 2011. –SEEA-E for UNSC 2012 Final release spring 2012. –SEEA hopefully at the same time. While IRES was in front of SEEA E and accordingly had to be a little imprecise as regards references to Energy Accounts etc ESCM could be based on both IRES and SEEA-E in chapters for balances and accounts. Some parts of ESCM are however independent of SEEA-E. These chapters are also very important.

4 I.Purpose Energy Statistics Compilers Manual (ESCM) is intended to assist energy statistics compilers in the implementation of International Recommendations for Energy Statistics, the forthcoming System of Environmental-Economic Accounting for Energy, and with other uses within the context of national accounts. The focus of the manual is on compilation and reporting of energy statistics both nationally and internationally. It will contain description of good country practices and additional technical information relevant to all the tasks that energy statistics manager and compiler normally performs – from the legal and institutional settings and data collection from various sources to data compilation, assessment of quality and dissemination. ESCM is planned as a forward looking document with respect to the development and implementation of the integrated approach to compilation of basic statistics enabling countries to collect data once and use them many times for various purposes. The practice on compilation of energy statistics is constantly evolving, therefore, in addition to the publication of ESCM as a hard copy, an electronic version of the document will be developed and periodically updated to reflect the new methodological developments, keep the compilers abreast with the good country practices and channel to them any new technical information.

5 Chapter 1Conceptual framework The purpose of this chapter is to present to the compiler a brief summary of the conceptual framework for energy statistics established by IRES and to explain the relationships of energy statistics with economic, environment and other relevant statistics. Comment: One aspect to be covered is to update text on official statistics. Especially official energy statistics in a decentralized system. The other aspect is to update on energy statistics and indicators and accounts. The general approach i.e. official statistics covers all types of output from the producer (e.g. NSOs) as basic statistics national accounts and indicator. The discussion will be on how to apply this approach for energy.

6 Chapter 2Legal foundations and institutional arrangements The chapter 2 will provide details on the existing national systems of energy statistics including the legal framework and appropriate institutional engagements. The advantages and disadvantages of various systems will be discussed and good practices will be identified. The ways to improve the national systems of energy statistics will be elaborated based on principles guiding effective institutional arrangements promoted by IRES. The chapter will contain examples of the national systems of energy statistics of several countries and describe their plans on how to move forward.

7 Comment The integrated approach is under constant further development. If major elements in energy environment, emission, sustainability find different institutional solutions – precautions have to be taken.

8 Chapter 3Data compilation – general issues Starting with the recommendations on data sources and data compilation strategies provided in IRES this chapter will elaborate technical details and provide examples of good country practices on various stages of the data compilation process. This will include further discussion and guidance on what kinds of data sources can be used and how to make improvements in this area. The issue of how to better reflect energy statistics requirements in economic censuses, in regular programmes of enterprise/establishment surveys, in household surveys and mixed household-enterprise surveys will be discussed. A separate section is envisaged for the description of good country practices in the designing and organization of statistical surveys dedicated to collection of energy data. The issue of frequency of surveys will be illustrated by country examples. The methods used in data validation and editing, imputation and estimation and their specificity in energy statistics will be described and necessary examples provided. The Chapter will contain also examples of an integrated approach to energy statistics compilation in several countries. Good practices in the use of administrative data sources and merging such data with data received via statistical surveys will be described.

9 Comment Comment: This is an important part and could be given top priority. The discussion should be consistent with the general approach for official statistics in general. Common coordination of all data capture into statistics. Electronic, extraction from administrative data files/systems in governmenent and private if possible. Active role of metadata in the system. Methods and systems for data editing – quality control and assurance. Special aspects for energy industries. Production and distribution. Taxes. Prices. Few and big units. Global companies ( special problems ?) Use of energy : consumption and in non energy industries as intermediates. In principle relevant for all indistries and households. This makes an integrated system – a data warehouse – of special relevance. Taxes. Prices. Editing systems, common features e.g energy content.

10 Chapter 4Compilation of data on stocks and flows of selected energy products This Chapter is intended to provide information and guidance on issues specific to data compilation on stocks and flows of particular energy products. Comment: Some may be covered by comment ch 3? Fine tuning of production frontier after SEEA-E is released
11
11 Chapter 5Compilation of data on activities of energy sector The definition of scope of energy sector and the recommendations on the data items about its activities will be the basis for this chapter. The chapter will contain guidance on how to compile such data items from various sources including reuse of the previously compiled data (e.g., as a part of general economic statistics) and modification of the specialized energy statistics surveys. Comment: See previous comment
12
12 Chapter 6 Compilation of energy balances This chapter will provide details on good practices in compilation of various types of energy balances focusing on the reconciliation of data obtained from different sources and other technical issues. Examples of energy balances compiled by several countries will be included. Also, the balance formats used by UNSD, IEA and Eurostat will be presented together with a correspondence between them and the rationale for use of these formats. Comment: The work with recommended aggregate versions and analytical use should continue. Updating and improvement.
13
13 Chapter 7Compilation of energy accounts The details on structure of energy accounts and the required data will be given. Guidance on how to compile the energy accounts from the basic energy statistics will be provided as well as an explanation of what additional data estimations might be needed (and how to generate them). The practice of compilation and use of the bridge tables between energy balances and energy accounts will be described. Examples of energy accounts and bridge tables compiled by the selected countries will be provided. Comment: Keep the work division between IRES and SEEA-E. Discuss the data requirements for the various types of accounts. Prepare the basic statistics – the data warehouse.
14
14 Chapter 8Compilation of energy indicators This chapter will provide details on good practices in compilation of various energy indicators including energy efficiency indicators and indicators for sustainable energy development. Comment: To be given priority. Could also cover analytical methods as temperature adjustments in combination with seasonal adjustments.
15
15 Chapter 9Energy statistics and calculation of GHG emission inventories This chapter will provide details on calculation of GHG emission inventories using energy statistics and promote good practices in this area. Comment: This need an explanation – This ch should not be about how to calculate GHG emission but how to deliver data relevant for and prepared to GHG emission calculation.
16
16 Chapter 10Compilation of metadata. Taking the IRES recommendations on metadata as the starting point the chapter will provide details on good practices in compilation of various elements of metadata Comment. Important but may be included in Compilation etc
17
17 Chapter 11Quality assurance programmes The concept of quality assurance programme in relationship to energy statistics will be explained and examples of good country practices be given. Comment:To develop more the sepcific aspects for energy including the often decentralilsed system
18
18 Chapter 12Data and metadata dissemination The chapter is intended to describe good practices in the organization of data and metadata dissemination. The use of SDMX for international reporting will be discussed. Bibliography Annexes Index
