Energy Production
and Consumption
Present Transfer of Information to
Regional and International Organizations
 AFREC is the only regional organization that receives
energy data from Egyptian institution, namely, ENC-WEC.
 MEDENER used to obtain energy data from OEP.
 WEC, IEA and ENERDATA are regularly receiving energy
data from ENC-WEC.
 UNSD is getting Egyptian energy data from MOP.
 UNSD used to have it from OEP as well.

Energy Efficiency
Potential Sources of Primary Data (2)
 Customs Authority, EEIGGR, ESCO'S and Chambers of
Commerce are potential sources for similar data.
 Limited number of studies tackled the issue of employment
impact in the field of energy efficiency.

Main Difficulties
 Data are not disaggregated enough.
 Definitions of sectors are not exactly the
same among producers and consumers.
 Definition of transport sector was altered few
years ago regarding data from EGPC.
 In few cases, confidentiality is an issue
regarding import/export of crude oil.

Main Difficulties
 In most cases, we have residential and
commercial consumptions as one item (not
disaggregated).
 Recently, consumption of Jet Fuel and
Kerosene is combined. The same is for
Naphtha and Gasoline.
 We obtain material balanced refineries data,
these data will never be energy balanced.
We put the variation as statistical difference.

Conclusion
 Many organizations manipulate primary energy data for
obtaining summary tables, graphs or indicators.
 Few organizations are processing data for energy
balance, inclusive reports or websites.
 MOP and EGPC are among those entities that make data
processing for retrieving indicators, tables, graphs and for
their databases.
 EGAS is managing its produced data for its annual
reports as well.

Conclusion (2)
 EEHC and NREA (MOEE) use the processed data to get
indicators, summary tables and graphs to be published in
their annual reports.
 ENC-WEC is manipulating data in different format to cope
with some international energy institutions' forms.
 ENC-WEC also process data to acquire the country's
profile and energy balance.

Conclusion (3)
 Information on energy production and consumption is
regularly produced, readily available and already being
transferred to a number of regional and international
organizations.
 CAPMAS is dealing with such data to search out for some
economic and energy indicators.
 OEP was handling these data for its comprehensive
annual reports and database.
