This document was prepared as part of the Caribbean Energy Statistics Capacity Enhancement
Project, executed by OLADE and administered by the World Bank and is intended to complement
the Manual of Good Practices for the Management of Energy Statistics in Latin America and the Caribbean with a first survey that allows knowing —as a starting point— the status of adoption of some of the good practices contained in said manual
The document addresses, first of all, institutional aspects, linked both to the nature of the entities for the integral management of energy statistics and to their legal conformation and their link with other statistical institutions, the degree of concentration and coordination of the activities of energy statistics management; the methodology for the appointment of its authorities and their stability in office, and finally the existence of inter-institutional energy information committees.
Next, the scope and exhaustiveness of the compilation of energy statistics is analyzed,
exploring for the countries that responded to the questionnaire which are the specific chains and links that are surveyed, as well as issues related to the obligation to report.
