1.Situation of the energy •Availability of different sources of information/methods of data acquisition on the household
statistics in the household sector
sector
in
the
EU: •Systematisation of different experiences in synthetic profiles of statistical methods by types:
Competences and involved
• Background: Responsible organisation; main objectives of the method; Interaction with
bodies
European programmes/initiatives
• Technical features: Hypotheses; Sampling procedure; frequency; etc.
• Key methodological issues: Integration of info; complexity of operations; quality control;
validation procedure; etc.
•Analyses of the data coverage of the existing systems of data acquisition. Reference: TF 2008
• Targeted data and relevance according to TF 2008 requirements
•Reliability and quality of input and output data
2.Eurostat Strategy: Steps •Background:
towards a new harmonised
• Preliminary discussion/actions in the frame of the EC and Eurostat SWG with focus on energy
system
statistics in the household sector
• Necessity of synergies, harmonization and dissemination of best practices in the ESS
• First proposal of creating Centers and Networks of Excellence (CENEX)
• Constitution of EUROSTAT Task Force 2008 and establishment of minimum requirements of
information on statistics in the household sector to cover
• Justification/implementation of SECH projects
•Assessment of SECH projects: Ex ante and ex post analyses of coverage of info in the countries
involved.
•Further actions in the development of energy statistics in household sector
• Manual of statistics on households sector funded by ESSnet programme.
• Implementation of Regulation on households sector.

5. Methods
of
information Analyses of all the data acquisition systems identified in each of the groups of coverage defined in
acquisition currently used point 3:
and frequency
Statistical Criteria
Typology and costs of the data acquisition methods
Strength and weakness of the acquisition methods
Success in the coverage of requirements established by TF 2008. Special focus on “must have”
data.
Determination of common patterns and differences among data acquisition methods considered in
each coverage group
Relevance of the individual analyses: Goodness of the statistical methods
6. Methods

Identification of the most common elements used by methods in each coverage group
Identification of innovative elements and potential of transferability
Determination of common patterns and differences among methods within each coverage group
