Statistical method for monitoring energy consumption in service sectors and households
Statistics Netherlands 2

• background• use of client files as alternative• steps forward• results • concluding remarks
Statistics Netherlands 3
BackgroundSituation energy statistics in the Netherlands in 2005
Positive: energy production sector and manufacturing industries (‘the heavy users’)
• solid production process, based on surveys, high response rates, intensive contact with key companies
• statistical results of good quality and timeliness
• results basis for energy balance sheets
Statistics Netherlands 4
BackgroundSituation energy statistics in the Netherlands in 2005
Negative: Other sectors (households, service sectors, etc. )
• response rates, quality response and statistical results poor and decreasing
• irregular statistical coverage, only once every 3 to 5 years
• poor quality external information (households, agriculture)
• lack of finance and staff capacity to improve the shortcomings with traditional questionnaires
But:• increasing demand
Statistics Netherlands 5
Promising alternative ask energy companies for their files with individual client information
The idea is simple:
Energy companies have all the necessary information they need to send bills to their individual clients, including the supplied amounts of energy- 8 mln electricity connections- 7 mln gas connections
Collecting this individual client information is much more efficient and less costly than asking many individual consumers
Statistics Netherlands 6
Advantages Only a limited number of respondents have to be bothered
(general policy in the Netherlands to minimize the response burden)
Less costly and more efficient
Increasing quality statistical results (An important source of errors can be avoided: energy consumers no longer have to identify their electricity and gas consumption on annual basis from the information they receive from their energy supplier)
Data on energy consumption can be published for each economic activity (NACE-code) and households annually
Statistics Netherlands 7
Steps forward (1)
Legal obligation
Energy companies will not cooperate on a voluntary basis
Legal obligation is necessary
Realised in 2004 as modification of the Dutch statistical law
Statistics Netherlands 8
Steps forward (2)which companies: energy suppliers or network operators?
Energy suppliers: - more information (quantities, prices, costs, taxes)- more and varying number of companies- varying number of clients/connections per company (switching allowed)
Network operators: - only quantities electricity and natural gas- only few and stable number of companies (14, all both electricity and gas)- stable number of clients/connections
Choice: Network operators
Statistics Netherlands 9
Steps forward (3)Identify type of client: house hold or business? and type of business (NACE code)?
Records contain address data
Linking to other data:- home register (7 mln dwellings)- general business register (1 mln records)- other administrative data(register real estate appraisal, Dutch land use register, GIS-techniques and others)
Amount of energy
Statistics Netherlands 10
Steps forward (3)Many problems had to be solved:
house number extension (standardisation)
district heating, central heating bloc of flats
combined dwellings/business (one connection)
multiple connections per company (establishments)
multiple companies per connection (office building hired by several companies, one connection)
And many others!

Results Households
• Regular statistics production electricity and gas consumption since 2008 (information from statistical period 2004)
• Broken down by region (municipal level)
• Broken down by housing types and household characteristics (by matching with microdata home characteristics and household characteristics)
• Microdata available for external researchers

Concluding remarks
• Client files of energy companies have proven to be a very good source for making energy statistics!
• Generally usable for all economic sectors with only consumtion of electricity and natural gas and no own energy production
• Cheaper, more efficient, good quality, with little administrative burden compared to traditional surveys
