Energy Accounts
Supply and Use Tables
The physical flows are captured in the flow accounts structure, and the supply
and use tables format is used.
SEEA 2003 and SEEA-E
The international methodology as set out in the system of Integrated
Environmental and Economic Accounting 2003 is followed with regard to the
definition of natural resource accounting.
SIC
The energy accounts uses the Standard Industrial Classification of all
Economic Activities (SIC) as per the System of National Accounts (SNA).

Energy Accounts
Physical flow accounts
In the development of the physical flow accounts, in the format of the 1993
System of National Accounts, the energy balances of the Department of
Energy is used. The physical units are converted to Terajoules to give total
energy use and total energy supply.
Four types of physical flows are captured:
Natural resource extraction –
Ecosystem inputs –
Products –
Coal, crude oil, and gas.
i.e. oxygen combustion.
energy fuels such as petrol and diesel.
Residuals –
generated by the use of fossil fuels.

Energy resources
Energy resources:
Coal = main energy supply source and provides 65% of primary energy
needs (South Africa 6th largest holder of coal reserves)
The remaining sources of supply are:
• Oil
• Gas
• Nuclear power
• Hydropower
• Renewable resources (wind, solar, biomass and wave power)
6
Classifications
Classification of energy sectors:
Industrial – uses largest amount of energy and is divided in eight sub sectors:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Chemicals and petrochemicals
Food and tobacco
Iron and steel
Mining
Non-ferrous metals
Non-metallic minerals
Pulp and paper
•
Other
Residential – are classified into urban and rural:
•
Urban – use modern fuels, i.e. electricity for cooking, water heating, space heating,
and lighting.
•
Rural – mainly traditional fuels, i.e. wood, dung, and bagasse. Transitional fuels
include coal, paraffin and liquid petroleum gas (LPG).
Transport – together with residential 2nd and 3rd largest users of energy:
Agriculture
Commercial

Data collection
In order to compile the accounts, data is obtained from Statistics
South Africa in the form of a survey, with 22 power stations
complying monthly.
Questions:
1. Electricity generated in kilowatt-hours (kWh).
2. Electricity consumed in power station(s) and energy storage systems in kWh.
3. Net quantity of electricity generated and sent out from power station(s).
4. Purchases outside the Republic of South Africa, e.g. Mozambique (specifying
supplier).
5. Consumed in synchronous condenser (CSO), Department of Water Affairs (DWA)
and Assets” (Applicable to the Electricity Supply Commission [Eskom]).
10
Data sources
The Department of Energy uses the following sources of data
to compile the energy balances:
Department of Energy (DoE)
Wind, solar, natural gas liquid, natural gas, and coal (except imports).
Oil companies
Electricity used in petrochemical industry and by oil refineries.
South African Coal and Oil
(Sasol)
Petroleum products from non-crude sources and gas works.
Electricity Supply
Commission (Eskom)
Electricity production and consumption (excluding electricity produced by
municipalities)
National Energy Regulator of
South Africa (NERSA)
Electricity exports, imports and own use, pumped storage, distribution losses, output
from public plants and auto-producing plants, electricity production and consumption
South African Revenue
Services (SARS)
Imports and exports of oil and coal.
Mittal Steel
Imports of coking coal, production and consumption of blast furnace gas from iron and
steel.
South African Petroleum
Industry Association (SAPIA)
Oil consumption or sales data by sector.
11
Data quality assurance &
dissemination
In order for the energy balances and energy accounts to be useful as a
reliable information source, quality checks need to be done and the
integrity of data need to be verified. This is currently done manually.
The energy account is currently only published as a
discussion document, pending the formalizing of the
institutional arrangements between the Department of
Energy and Statistics South Africa.
12
Uses of energy accounts /
statistics
The main energy resources in the South African economy are coal, oil, gas, nuclear
power, hydropower and renewable sources such as wind, solar energy, bio-mass and
wave power.
The significance of the energy accounts are that they are of considerable interest in
their own right, especially for countries heavily involved in oil mining and processing.
Every economy in the world depends on the availability of oil and other energy sources.
The use of energy is critical to the economy, because almost all economic activities are
connected either directly or indirectly to the consumption of energy.
The environmental accounts, specifically in the case of energy accounts, are crucial in a
sense that they reflect how significant our environment is in the economy. In South
Africa, energy is sourced mainly from coal. The supply and use (in physical units) of
energy should be reflected in a way that is understandable from its raw production to
the residuals. Energy accounts provide information about the levels of direct energy
consumption of industries regarding their production processes and private households.
These accounts can also provide information on changes in the energy requirements of
particular industries in relation to their output. This shows the macro level impacts of
new technologies, and eco-efficiency measures and changes in behaviour. They are also
an indispensable prerequisite for reliable estimates of air emissions related to energy
consumption. The accounts are currently not official, there are some institutional
arrangements that need to be formalised with partners in the energy sector to achieve
this.
13
Uses of energy accounts /
statistics
Energy statistics and Energy Accounts could
provide useful information in planning and scenario
planning. Questions such as these could be
answered:
•
What are the levels of energy consumption in South Africa?
•
What are the levels of energy input (both direct and indirect) into the
various categories of final demand (private household consumption,
exports, etc.)?
•
What is the energy intensity of particular industries taking into account
both direct and indirect energy inputs?
•
For future predictions and scenarios, what are the changes expected in
the energy requirements of particular industries in relation to their
output?
