Purpose and objectives of
the ESCM
Ilaria DiMatteo
UNSD
6th Oslo Group Meeting
2-5 May 2011
Why the ESCM
 IRES provides internationally agreed
recommendations covering all aspects of the
statistical production process for energy
statistics
 SEEA-Energy will provide concepts, definitions
and classification for the energy accounts
consistent with the SNA
=> ESCM provides practical guidelines to assists
countries in the implementation of IRES and the
SEEA-Energy
ESCM is an integral part of the implementation of
IERS
Outline
Chapter 1 Conceptual framework
It describes the conceptual framework
established in IRES and also the relationships
with other relevant statistical domains such as
economic and environment statistics
Chapter 2 Legal foundation and institutional
arrangements
It describes various national statistical systems,
their legal framework and their institutional
arrangements. It will describe their advantages
and disadvantages and provides country
examples
Chapter 3 - Classification
It describes the relevant classification for energy
statistics (e.g. SIEC) and some issues in their
correspondence to other international
classifications.
Chapter 4 - Data sources and data collection
It presents data sources and compilation of data
items (incl. data editing, measurement units,
etc.) and also adjustments for the compilation of
energy accounts
Chapter 5 – Compilation of energy balances
It describes how to compile balances from the
data items of IRES, data validation inherent to
the balances, and also use of secondary data
Chapter 6 - Compilation of energy accounts
It describes how to compile the accounts (SEEAEnergy) based on the data items of IRES as well
the use of secondary sources such as the
energy balances and the compilation of bridge
tables
Chapter 7 – Energy indicators and Greenhouse
gas emissions
It provides examples of country practices in
these areas
Chapter 8 – Data quality and metadata
It provides guidance on the compilation of
quality indicators and on the preparation of
metadata as well as presents country practices
Chapter 9 – Data dissemination
It describes country practices in dissemination
(format, release calendar, revision policy, etc.)
and also confidentiality
ESCM is expected to be published in hard copy
and also in electronic format in order to be
periodically updated to reflect new country
practices
ESCM will heavily draw on country practices
The collection of country practices through, for
example, the template developed by Statistics
Norway is an important aspect
It is envisaged that a knowledge-base platform be
developed for energy statistics in order to make
available and share materials on energy
statistics
Suggested organization of the work
The ESCM is planned to be finalized by 2013
Preparation process in 3 main stages:
1. Collection of country practices and textual
input
2. Consolidation of the material into a complete
draft ESCM
3. Consultation and review of the draft
1. Collection of country practices and textual input
While the collection of country practices is envisaged
to be on a continuous basis, countries are
strongly encouraged to send their country
practice at an early stage
Countries are invited to volunteer to coordinate the
preparation of individual chapters of the ESCM
(e.g. review available practices, soliciting
contributions and draft text) in order to have draft
chapters by November 2011
UNSD will also assist country during the drafting of
the chapters
2. Consolidation of the material into a draft ESCM
UNSD will consolidate the material into a
first draft of the ESCM for the 7th Oslo
Group meeting in 2012
3. Consultation, review and finalization of the draft
During 2012-2013
The Oslo Group will be the main content
provider for the ESCM, however,
consultation with and contributions from
the London Group on Environmental
Accounts will be sought
