Annual Questionnaire on Energy Statistics

The Annual Questionnaire on Energy Statistics is part of the regular UNSD data collection programme. It covers statistics on production, conversion and consumption of energy resources and products.

The UNSD Annual Questionnaire on Energy Statistics is the primary source of information for the UNSD Energy Statistics Database and contributes to the Energy Statistics Yearbook and the Energy Balances and Electricity Profiles. The Energy Statistics Yearbook provides comparable data on long-term trends in the supply of energy. The Energy Balances and Electricity Profiles presents: (a) energy balances for developing countries and territories showing an overall picture of energy production, trade, conversion and consumption; and (b) electricity profiles for developed and developing countries and territories showing detailed information on production, trade and consumption of electricity, net installed capacity and thermal power plant inputs and efficiencies.

The 2010 Annual Questionnaire on Energy Statistics was sent to countries in 2012. It will contribute to the 2010 Energy Statistics Yearbook and the 2010 Energy Balances and Electricity Profiles which are expected to be available at the end of 2012. The Questionnaire is available in the six official languages of the United Nations.
