EEAFigure Average annual growth rate in electricity consumption by sector, 1990-2008 and 2007-2008, EU-27
Since 1990, in the EU-27 the electricity consumption increased in the service sector (including agriculture) at an annual growth rate of 2.6 %. In total, the electricity consumption increased by 59.2 % between 1990 and 2008. The main reasons for increased electricity consumption in the service sector were the sustained growth of this sector throughout the EU, the increased use of electrical appliances (such as air conditioning, lighting or IT equipment) and the penetration of new electrical devices

EEAFigure Average annual percentage change in final electricity consumption, EU-27 1990-2008
Most countries in the EU-27 experienced an overall increase in electricity consumption over the period from 1990 to 2008, except for Lithuania, Latvia, Romania and Bulgaria. During this period, the average annual growth rate of electricity consumption varied greatly by country, ranging from less than 1 % per year in Denmark, Germany, Norway, Sweden, Hungary, Slovakia and Estonia to over 4 % in Malta, Portugal, Spain, Ireland, Iceland, Cyprus and Turkey. The decrease or low growth in electricity consumption in the new Member States was a combined result of economic restructuring in the 1990s and a decrease or low growth of the total population in those countries

EEAFigure Electricity consumption per capita (in kWh/cap) in 2008
The average electricity use per capita in the EU-27 is over 2.3 times the global average and 2.8 times that of China. Only Luxembourg, Sweden, Finland, Norway and Iceland are using more electricity per capita than in the United States. The rest of the EU-27 is well below the US

Indicator Assessment Final electricity consumption by sector (ENER 018) - Assessment published Apr 2012
Over the period 1990-2009 final electricity consumption increased by 26.4% in the EU-27 countries at an average annual growth of around 1.2% per year. In non-EU EEA countries, the electricity consumption increased by 68.3% over the same period, at a much higher annual growth rate of 2.8%. In the EU-27, the strongest growth was observed in the services sector (including agriculture) (66.8%), followed by households (39.0%) and the transport sector (13.2%). The observed increase is the consequence of the attractiveness of electricity as an energy carrier. However, the industrial sector has seen a decrease in electricity consumption compared to 1990 levels (-0.7%). Between 2008 and 2009, however, final electricity consumption decreased by 5.0% in the EU-27 countries and 3.8% in the non-EU EEA countries due to the economic recession.

Indicator Assessment Final electricity consumption by sector (ENER 018) - Assessment published Sep 2010
Final electricity consumption increased rapidly in most economic sectors at an average annual growth of around 1.7% per year over the period 1990-2007. Across the whole period, final electricity consumption grew by 32.8 %. The strongest growth was observed in the service sector (59.1 %), followed by households (37.2 %), industry (17.5 %) and the transport sector (14.3 %). The observed increase is the consequence of both the attractiveness of electricity as an energy carrier and economic growth.

Indicator Assessment Final electricity consumption by sector (ENER 018) - Assessment published Aug 2011
Final electricity consumption increased rapidly in most economic sectors at an average annual growth of around 1.6% per year over the period 1990-2008. Across the whole period, final electricity consumption grew by 33.4 %. The strongest growth was observed in the service sector (59.2 %), followed by households (40.1 %), industry (17.0 %) and the transport sector (14.0 %). The observed increase is the consequence of both the attractiveness of electricity as an energy carrier and economic growth.
