The IEA's Monthly Electricity Statistics provides timely electricity production and trade data for all OECD Member Countries. It aims to report as up-to-date and consistent information as possible for the last four months. It also provides previous annual data and year-to-date indicators.

Data is at the individual country level as well as in organisational and regional groupings. These groupings include: OECD Total, OECD Europe, OECD North America, OECD Pacific and IEA Total. The units are TWh for the groupings and GWh for the single countries.
