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

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

For international comparability, countries which use the fiscal year, should undertake efforts to report annual data according to the calendar year

Countries announce in advance the precise dates when energy statistics will be released

© OECD/IEA 2015

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. 37

a glossary of terms should always accompany the disseminated tabulations of energy statistics.

The Policy Delivery Cycle – where stats can

impact

• Do we really understand what the

problem or issue is?

• Are you sure there is a gap?

• What policy or evidence is already out

there & what are others doing in

UK/abroad?

• What outcome would indicate success

• Understand, quantify & analyse

impacts, costs, risks & benefits of

policy options, including on GHGs

• Address evidence gaps & identify

research & analysis required

• Monitoring performance

indicators and expected benefits

• Evaluation and reporting, eg

GHGs

• Undertake pilots & collect good

practice

• Benchmark against other

schemes

• Agree and put in place delivery

arrangements with delivery

partners and regulators

• Put in place policy monitoring,

evaluation & reporting

mechanisms

Dissemination of Statistics

Keep it simple but factual

Make access easy for all – website, books, apps, etc

Who is audience, what level of numerical skill

Charts must make point easier to understand – they are the hook

Should raise a “why” question

• Associated text should answer
