Final electricity consumption by sector, EU-27. Influenced by the liberalisation of the power market, electricity prices decreased during the 1990s but they have started to rise again in the last few years

Efficiency (electricity and heat) production from conventional thermal plants, 1990, 2009
-
The EEA efficiencies exclude Iceland (and Croatia) (for conventional) and Iceland and Norway (and Croatia) (for public conventional). Iceland is missing because there is no data in Eurostat this year. Croatia was included last year but has been excluded because it is not part of EEA32. For Norway its efficiency is above 100% in 1990 because the electricity consumed for heating is not considered as an input, although the heating from electric boilers is considered in total output. Swedish conventional and public conventional efficiencies are above 100% in some years (when including district heating), but not in 1990 or in 2009, so Sweden is included in the charts.

Primary energy consumption by fuel (CSI 029/ENER 026) - Assessment published Apr 2012
-
Total gross inland energy consumption decreased by 1.3%/year since 2005 in EEA countries (-1.7%/year in EU-27); it increased however in non-EU EEA by 3%/year; an opposite trend was observed from 1990 to 2005 with an increase by 0.7%/year from 1990 to 2005 (0.6%/year for EU-27 and 2.4%/year for non-EU EEA). In 2009 the gross energy consumption decreased with the economic crisis by 5.1% in EEA countries, mainly in EU-27 (-5.5%/year compared to -1% in non-EU EEA countries)
Fossil fuels continue to dominate total gross energy consumption in EU-27, but their share is declining: from 83% in 1990 to 77% in 2009. The share of renewable energy sources more than doubled over the period, from 4.3% in 1990 to 9 % in 2009. The share of nuclear energy in total gross inland consumption increased slightly, to 13.6% in 2009 from 12.3 % in 1990.

Efficiency of conventional thermal electricity and heat production
-
Output from conventional thermal power stations consists of gross electricity generation and also of any heat sold to third parties (combined heat and power plants) by conventional thermal public utility power stations as well as autoproducer thermal power stations.
The figure on the left is including district heat and the figure on the right is excluding district heat.

Share of renewable electricity in gross electricity production (%) 1990-2010 and 2010 indicative targets
-
The renewable electricity share in Norway is above 100% in some years because a part of the (renewable) electricity generated domestically is exported to other countries. No data is available for Iceland or Liechtenstein.

Renewable electricity as a percentage of gross electricity consumption, 2010
-
The renewable electricity directive (2001/77/EC) defines renewable electricity as the share of electricity produced from renewable energy sources in total electricity consumption. The latter includes imports and exports of electricity. The electricity generated from pumping in hydropower plants is included in total electricity consumption but it is not included as a renewable source of energy.

Overview of the electricity production and use in Europe (ENER 038) - Assessment published Mar 2013
-
Fossil fuels and nuclear energy continue to dominate the gross power generation mix in EU-27, with a respective share of 51% and 27.4% in 2010. The share of electricity generated from renewable sources is in rapid progression and reached 20.9% in 2010 (12.5% in 1990).
Final electricity consumption increased by 32% in the EU-27 since 1990 at an average annual growth of around 1.4% per year. In the EU-27, the strongest growth was observed in the services sector (3.3%/year), followed by households (1.7%/year) and industry (0.2/year). In non-EU EEA countries, the growth in electricity consumption was much more rapid and reached 3.1%/year, driven by the rapid growth in Turkey.
