Primary and final energy intensities trends in the EU (normal climate)
- Since 2000, primary intensity has decreased faster than final intensity in most EU Member States (and thus also at EU level) due to decreasing losses in the power sector (increasing efficiency of thermal generation, diffusion of renewables, increasing imports, etc.).
- An opposite trend can be seen in 6 EU MS, due to specific factors (e.g. increasing share of non-energy uses in the Netherlands, decreasing share of hydropower in Sweden).
