Preparation of Preparation of International recommendations for Energy International recommendations for Energy StatisticsStatistics (IRES) (IRES)

In Nov 2007, UNSD developed the proposal to In Nov 2007, UNSD developed the proposal to review and review and consolidate the revised recommendations on energy consolidate the revised recommendations on energy statistics and balances, which merit adoption by the UN statistics and balances, which merit adoption by the UN Stat. Comm. into the Stat. Comm. into the International Recommendations for International Recommendations for Energy StatisticsEnergy Statistics (IRES) (IRES)

IRES would be aligned in format and structure to IRES would be aligned in format and structure to international recommendations approved by the UN SC international recommendations approved by the UN SC in other fields (e.g. industrial statistics, distributive trade in other fields (e.g. industrial statistics, distributive trade statistics, tourism statistics)statistics, tourism statistics)

Scope and coverageScope and coverage

IRES will focus on basic energy statistics and energy balances.

IRES will provide the fundamental, reference elements for energy statistics such as definitions, classifications, reference data items, data collection, etc.

UNSD is also developing international standards for the system of Environemtnal-Economic Accoutns for Enrgy (SEEA-E), however, IRES and SEEA-E are seen as two complementary documents and their preparation is fully coordinated.

Additional guidance on more practical/technical matters (e.g., good practices, country case studies, etc.) to assist countries in implementation of IRES and SEEA-E is to be provided in Energy Statistics Compilers Manual (ESCM)
