The International Energy Agency (IEA) datasets published by the Energy Statistics Division (ESD) contain annual, and a small amount of quarterly and monthly time series data from 1960 onwards. The database covers energy production, trade, stocks, transformation, consumption, prices and taxes as well as on greenhouse gas emissions for over 30 OECD Member countries and over 100 non-OECD countries worldwide. In OECD Member countries the data are collected by official bodies (most often the national statistics office in each country) from firms, government agencies and industry organisations and are then reported to the IEA using questionnaires to ensure international comparability. In non-OECD countries the data are collected directly from government and industry contacts and from national publications. The International Energy Agency (IEA) Electricity Information database contains a time series of electricity statistics of OECD countries for supply, consumption, trade, capacity and price, and some projection data corresponding to the data shown in Part II of the annual IEA publication Electricity Information. Where available, all tables from Part I of the publication are also included. Data are based on submissions from national administrations to the Secretariat. The database contains a time series of annual electricity and heat data for Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) countries from 1960 onwards. The Electricity Information database is structured into eight tables.  These data were first provided by the UK Data Service in June 2005 and are updated semi-annually.
