Primary and final energy intensities trends in the EU (normal climate)
- Since 2000, the primary intensity decreased faster than the final intensity in most EU countries as well as in the EU as a whole due to decreasing losses in the power sector (increase in thermal generation efficiency, more renewables, import increase etc).
- Reverse trend in 5 EU countries, due to specific factors (e.g. increasing share of non-energy uses in The Netherlands, decreasing share of hydro in Sweden).
