This training is carried out within the framework of the project “Strengthening the Capacities of the Caribbean Energy Statistics”, executed by The Latin American and Caribbean Energy Organization (OLACDE) with the financial support of the World Bank.
The workshop given by OLACDE’s technical team, made up of Valeria Balseca and David Delgado, included sessions of the balance methodology for oil and derivatives, natural gas, electricity and biofuels.
The participants also learned about the management of information on consumption activities in the International Standard Industrial Classification ISIC revision 4, which allows improving the quality of statistical data in the national and energy sector, supporting sustainable energy planning in both countries (Guyana and Suriname).
This space was also used to raise and define the functional requirements for the energy information systems, which will be implemented in these two countries, as part of the actions of the project “Strengthening the Capacities of the Caribbean Energy Statistics”.
These systems will allow the appropriate management of the energy information of each country on the issues of national balance, infrastructure, prices, indicators, as well as storing files such as publications and legal documentation.
Project Strengthening the Capacities of Caribbean Energy Statistics
The project consists of two aspects; the first to develop 5 national information systems for Belize, Grenada, Guyana, Jamaica and Suriname and the second to conduct training on energy planning tools and prospective scenarios.
Through this project, OLACDE seeks to increase the quality and optimize the dissemination of energy information in the region to promote the availability of harmonized energy statistics, with international standards to make the data management of the sector, become one of the pillars that promote the sustainable and inclusive development of our Member Countries.
