What Do We Do?
IEA has a mandate to collect energy statistics for OECD countries NMC voluntary data collection – IEA has no mandate 112 countries, 3 aggregate world regions are indispensable to
compile World energy balance.

Data Collection in OECD vs Non-OECD Countries
OECD 5 annual Joint
IEA/UNECE/Eurostat questionnaires
Quarterly questionnaire on prices and taxes
Monthly questionnaire • Electricity • Oil and gas (M-2) • Oil and gas (M-1)
Exceptional questionnaires
Non-OECD Joint IEA/UNECE/Eurostat
questionnaires for a few
Network of statistics contacts in 130 countries
Cooperation with international organizations

Focus on Challenges for UN-ESCWA Countries Despite the key importance of ESCWA data, we face many obstacles in
data collection
Wide range of complete and reliable data across countries
Difficult access to primary sources and updated contacts
Multiple sources, often secondary, sometimes completely missing
Non uniform definitions

Training and Capacity Building
Energy Statistics Courses continue at IEA headquarters (Spring and Autumn)
Partnering to develop regional courses– for instance in 2016
International workshop with UNSD (Beijing, May)
Workshop on renewable energy data collection and processing, methods and tools with IRENA (Pretoria, September)
Energy statistics training for new focal points with AFREC (Algiers, December)
Augment online training and webinars Plan to produce trainings in other languages after the
successful IEA Summer School
