| Data: | Energy imports, net (% of energy use) | ||||||||
| Year: | 1960 - 2013 | ||||||||
| Country: | Philippines | ||||||||
| Source: | World Bank (the information in this section is direct quotation from World Bank development data) | ||||||||
| Series Code: | EG.IMP.CONS.ZS | ||||||||
| Topic: | Environment: Energy production & use | ||||||||
| Short Definition: | 0 | ||||||||
| Long Definition: | Net energy imports are estimated as energy use less production, both measured in oil equivalents. A negative value indicates that the country is a net exporter. Energy use refers to use of primary energy before transformation to other end-use fuels, which is equal to indigenous production plus imports and stock changes, minus exports and fuels supplied to ships and aircraft engaged in international transport. | ||||||||
| Unit of Measurement: | 0 | ||||||||
| Periodicity: | Annual | ||||||||
| Base Period: | 0 | ||||||||
| Reference Period: | 0 | ||||||||
| Aggregation method: | Weighted average | ||||||||
| Limitations and exceptions: | The IEA makes these estimates in consultation with national statistical offices, oil companies, electric utilities, and national energy experts. The IEA occasionally revises its time series to reflect political changes, and energy statistics undergo continual changes in coverage or methodology as more detailed energy accounts become available. Breaks in series are therefore unavoidable. | ||||||||

| Statistical concept and methodology: | Energy data
are compiled by the International Energy Agency (IEA). IEA data for economies
that are not members of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and
Development (OECD) are based on national energy data adjusted to conform to
annual questionnaires completed by OECD member governments. A negative value in energy imports indicates that the country is a net exporter. Energy use refers to use of primary energy before transformation to other end-use fuels, which is equal to indigenous production plus imports and stock changes, minus exports and fuels supplied to ships and aircraft engaged in international transport. |

| Development relevance: | Modern
energy services are crucial to a country's economic development. Access to
modern energy is essential for the provision of clean water, sanitation and
healthcare and for the provision of reliable and efficient lighting, heating,
cooking, mechanical power, and transport and telecommunications
services. Governments in many countries are increasingly aware of the urgent need to make better use of the world's energy resources. Improved energy efficiency is often the most economic and readily available means of improving energy security and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. |
