World Energy Balances
Energy balances for 156 countries and 35 regional aggregates
Overview
The World Energy Balances online data service contains energy balances for 156 countries and 35 regional aggregates. The figures are expressed in thousand tonnes of oil equivalent (ktoe) and in terajoules. Conversion factors used to calculate energy balances and indicators (including GDP, population, industrial production index and ratios calculated with the energy data) are also provided. The database also includes transparent notes on methodologies and sources for country-level data. In general, the data are available from 1971 (1960 for OECD countries) to 2022. Preliminary 2023 data are available for select countries, products, and flows.
This service is updated two times a year with a progressively broader geographical coverage: in April and July, the final edition with global data for year-2.

Documentation
Expanded product description and database documentation. In January 2025, IEA changed its primary data sharing platform from Beyond 2020 (IVT files) to .Stat Data Explorer. The datasets in .Stat Data Explorer include different short names than the IVT and TXT files to improve harmonization across IEA datasets. The database documentation has been revised accordingly, with legacy documentation remaining available for users of discontinued IVT and TXT files.
