The Arbeitsgemeinschaft Energiebilanzen eV (AG Energiebilanzen) based in Berlin is an association that mainly deals with the scientific evaluation of statistics relating to the energy industry. It publishes an annual energy balance for the Federal Republic of Germany.
The Working Group on Energy Balances was founded on March 26, 1971 in Essen by seven associations from the German energy industry and three institutes active in the field of energy research. On July 22nd, 2004 it was reorganized into an association.
The Working Group on Energy Balances evaluates the existing statistics from all areas of the energy industry according to scientific criteria, regularly prepares an energy balance for the Federal Republic of Germany every year and makes it available to the public.
An energy balance provides an overview of the energy-economic relationships in the form of a matrix. It enables statements to be made about the consumption of various energy sources and provides information about further use along the value chain. This includes the areas of generation, conversion and consumption.
The data provided are also used by the BMWI in the monitoring process of the German energy transition . The data is also used by other ministries such as the Federal Environment Agency or the Federal Statistical Office .
