The IEA collects, assesses, and disseminates energy statistics on supply and demand, compiled into energy balances. In addition, the IEA Energy Data Centre has developed a number of key energy-related indicators, including energy prices and measures of energy efficiency.
IEA Energy Data and Statistics focus on quality, comparability, and alignment with internationally agreed definitions and methodologies, and close collaboration with national offices responsible for energy statistics and other relevant stakeholders. This emphasis on sound data provides a unique platform for modelling work and tracking both short-term shifts and long-term trends in countries’ energy transitions, particularly for clean energy. Furthermore, the IEA Energy Data Centre has established close cooperation with national and regional organisations on training and capacity building activities.
