3. Drivers for data dissemination

4. Drivers Fundamental Principles of Official Statistics
Principle 1. ….. official statistics that meet the test of practical utility are to be compiled and made available on an impartial basis by official statistical agencies to honour citizens’ entitlement to public information. (73rd plenary meeting 29 January 2014)
Communique of this G20 Ministers Meeting
We also acknowledge the importance of public disclosure of market related information on all energy resources.
Raise visibility of statistics and message from stats (advertising)
Inform Government, business, public, investors

5. Drivers - Selected Recommendations from IRES
The dissemination policy should be user oriented, reaching and serving all user groups, including format, and provide quality information
While recognizing the importance of statistical confidentiality, countries should implement those rules in a way to promote access to data while ensuring confidentiality
Countries make their energy data available on a calendar period basis
Countries announce in advance the precise dates when energy statistics will be released
Release dates:
monthly data, within 2 calendar months
quarterly data within 3 calendar months after the end of the reference quarter;
annual data within 15 calendar months after the end of the reference year
Countries are encouraged to harmonize their data with international standards
It is recommended that countries disseminate their energy statistics internationally as soon as they become available to national users and without any additional restrictions.
A glossary of terms should always accompany the disseminated tabulations of energy statistics.

15. Expanding the country practice database
Database on how countries collect end-use data – proving very useful concept, especially in our work with emerging and developing countries
Requests to expand into methodological/design issues
We still appreciated any new examples – eg. when new approaches are implemented

16. First IEA energy efficiency statistics release (Dec 2016)
End-use indicators by sector for individual IEA countries – extensive consultation with data providers ahead of release
