Energy Accounts for Botswana

This is the first comprehensive report on Botswana’s energy accounts project. It presents the methodology, data compilation process, results, and policy messages. The prime focus of the report is on the Physical Energy Flow Accounts. The accounts cover two energy products—coal and electricity—in physical energy units during the reference period 2010/11 to 2014/15.

The report is structured into three parts to cater to different types of audiences:

• Part A is meant for readers who would benefit from a basic introduction to energy accounting and would like to know what methodology and data were used to compile the coal and electricity accounts. 
• Part B, which is likely to interest planners and policy makers, provides an overview of the coal and electricity sector in Botswana and discusses the policy messages derived from the energy accounts.
• Part C is meant for readers interested in the institutional setting of the energy accounts as well as future plans for energy accounting in Botswana.
