Statistical Coordination Mechanisms for Energy Statistics Philippine Statistical Development Program (PSDP) a mechanism for setting the directions, thrusts and priorities of the PSS for the medium term; and defines the priority statistical programs and activities in the medium term which is designed to provide vital information support for the country’s development plan. The PSDP 2011-2017, which is the eight edition since 1976, has defined Chapter 14 for Energy Statistics; The chapter addresses concerns on the generation, dissemination and utilization of energy statistics particularly data on energy sources, supply, transformation, generation, transmission/delivery and final demand.

12. 12 NATIONAL STATISTICAL COORDINATION BOARD International Workshop on Energy Statistics, Beijing, China, 24-26 September 2012 Vivian R.

13. 13 NATIONAL STATISTICAL COORDINATION BOARD International Workshop on Energy Statistics, Beijing, China, 24-26 September 2012 Vivian R. Ilarina, Philippines II. Statistical Coordination Mechanisms for Energy Statistics Inter-Agency Coordination a mechanism which provides a forum to resolve policy and technical issues, develop new statistical activities/indicators, draft policies and endorse recommendations to the NSCB Executive Board IAC on Energy Statistics In the PSDP 2011 to 2017, one major statistical activity is the creation of an Inter-Agency Committee on Energy Statistics to steer the development of energy statistics through statistical policy recommendations, proposed methodologies and technical cooperation. The IAC is expected to institutionalize existing statistical coordination through the DOE, delineate responsibilities and strengthen the roles of the energy institutions in data generation and reporting, resolve statistical issues and recommend policy measures to the NSCB Executive Board. Information are as of June 2008
