abstract = {In 1936 the World Power Conference, the organisation which eventually became the World Energy Council, published the first of a series of Statistical Year-books. This pioneer work represented ‘an attempt to compile and publish international statistics of power resources, development and utilization, upon a comprehensive and comparable basis’. Nearly three-quarters of a century later, this essentially remains the objective of the Year-book’s direct descendant, namely the twenty-second edition of the WEC’s Survey of Energy Resources.



Despite considerable development along the way, with gradually extended coverage of energy resources (notably in the field of the ‘Renewables’) and the provision of more comprehensive tables and increasingly detailed Country Notes, the basic problems facing the compilers of the Survey remain much the same. They were indeed foreshadowed by a somewhat

melancholy comment in the Introduction to Statistical Year-book No. 1: ‘The work of editing the tables, and more particularly the definitions, proved even more arduous and difficult than had been anticipated’.},
