Better Data – Better Decisions

The Joint Organisations Data Initiative (JODI):

Increasing energy data transparency through

international cooperation

Fuad A. AlZayer

Coordinator, Energy Data Transparency, IEF, Riyadh

A need for international cooperation for a

changing energy world

• World balance of energy is changing: OECD versus Non-OECD.

• Energy markets are more global

• A need to improve energy data quality: both in OECD and non-OECD countries

• An increasing need for more detailed information

• Decisions makers needs facts to address: Energy Poverty, Sustainable energy, Climate change, etc.

A changing world: OECD vs. Non -OECD

World balance of energy is changing: OECD versus Non-OECD

Oil refining: 33% in 1973, 52% in 2014

Gas production: 29% in 1973, 64% in 2014

Electricity consumption: 27% in 1973, 55% in 2014,

TPES: 39% in 1973,

62% in 2014,

Non-OECD Share

Several initiatives for better harmonisation and

cooperation

Eurostat – IEA – UNECE cooperation

UNSD-IEA coordination

APEC decided (in 2005) to align their annual questionnaires with those of IEA/Eurostat/UNECE

AFREC established (in 2008) and working towards a similar statistics approach

Continues Engagement: JODI conferences

• Meeting between Users and Providers of data

• Make data available faster

• Use data re-distribution agencies: Easy

access and higher visibility

• Consider other energy sources

Capacity Building: A key element of JODI Success

• Targeting Key Regions

• JODI Partners Cooperation

• Host Countries assistance

JODI on the international agenda

“...We commit to strengthen JODI by ensuring greater visibility, more complete

and comprehensive data, enhanced access and improved availability, and by

maintaining support for capacity building…” - G20 Leaders Declaration

“… strong support for the progress on the usage and data capture, particularly

with the launch of JODI Gas. Some members suggested expanding JODI to

new energy resources...” G20 ESWG Meeting

“Energy Security is linked to decisions, based on high quality data.” GAURI

JAUHAR, Director –IHS India 2015

JODI: High on the Political Agenda

• G20 Ministerial Meetings, Summits & ESWG Meetings

• Asian energy ministerials & roundtables

• G8 actions on energy & climate change

• IEF-IGU Ministerials

• Industry Ministerials / meetings /etc

JODI featured regularly in international media

JODI Benefits

1. Reduces market volatility & ensure market stability

2. Supports sound decision-making

3. Facilitates improved short-term forecasts

4. Encourages investments

2. Decision Makers will listen to issues on Data, Harmonisation, &

Classification

3. JODI can grow to include other energy sources (Coal, Renewables,

etc.)

4. JODI can cooperate with other Organisations (OAPEC, AFREC,

IRENA, Energy Community, etc.)

5. There could be Synergy with UNFCC on Capacity Building, etc.
