Implementing Physical Energy Flow Accounts in the European Statistical System (ESS) Arturo de la Fuente Eurostat 1
Introduction (historical overview) 2009: Agreement to develop SEEA-type energy accounts in the European Statistical System (ESS) 2009-2010: Discussion paper Eurostat Working Group on Environmental Accounts, choices taken: start with physical flow accounts full-articulated framework of physical supply and use tables (PSUT) detailed industry breakdown (NACE A*64 = same as IOTs) 2010-2014:Task force developed PEFA questionnaire and conceptual guidelines (closely based on SEEA-CF and draft SEEA-Energy) 2

Introduction (historical overview) 2012: decision to develop PEFA-Builder = IT-tool populating PEFA-questionnaire from already existing energy statistics (5 Annual Energy Questionnaires) = highly complex algorithms ! 2012-2014: EU legal base 2014: draft PEFA Manual 2014-2016: Voluntary data collections (response rate circa 50%) = learning process 2017: first mandatory data collection 4
Lessons learnt from implementation in EU: Implementation took 8 years! Yet, not all countries established PEFA Quality has to improve in the coming years Many conceptual and methodological issues (beyond SEEA) needed to be clarified and settled PEFA-Builder matured gradually accommodating 'wishes' from countries using this IT-tool requires expert knowledge 5
Lessons learnt from implementation in EU: Policy use of PEFA needs to be sharpened: Currently, energy and climate policy making can widely be informed by energy statistics What is the added value of PEFA? further discussion needed on the potential of PEFA indicators More integrated environmental-economic applications (including monetary accounts and air emissions accounts) e.g. structural decomposition analysis Needed: same detailed industry breakdown as in national accounts (IOTs) 6
