Energy consumption of EU Member States and their 2020 targets The chart shows the change in energy consumption of EU Member States in 2019 compared to 2005, and their 2020 targets.
Figure Primary energy consumption and linear trajectory levels to reach 2020 targets Primary energy consumption and linear trajectory levels to reach 2020 targets, 2017 and 2018. In accordance with the Energy Efficiency Directive (2012/27/EU), the EU Member States have set up national indicative targets that, collectively, should help the EU to reach its 20 % energy efficiency target by 2020. This graph show which countries are in line with, below or above their linear trajectories

Used in indicators

Indicator Specification Greenhouse gas emission intensity of electricity generation in Europe The CO 2 emission intensity is calculated as the ratio of CO 2 emissions from electricity generation and gross electricity generation.

Primary and final energy consumption in Europe This indicator shows final and primary energy consumption for the 27 Member States of the EU from 2005 to 2019, and their distance to target. Underlying disaggregated data on sectoral and fuel compositions were used in the assessment discussion. In simplified terms, FEC represents the energy used by final consumers for all energy uses. It is the energy that reaches the final consumer’s door. PEC represents the total energy demand within a country, excluding the energy products consumed for purposes other than producing useful energy (non-energy uses, e.g. oil for plastics). For example, the electricity consumed by a household counts towards FEC; the fuel burned to generate that electricity counts towards PEC.

Primary and final energy consumption in Europe This indicator shows final and primary energy consumption for the 27 Member States of the EU from 2005 to 2019. Values for 2019 are approximated. Underlying disaggregated data on sectoral and fuel compositions were used in the assessment discussion. In simplified terms, FEC represents the energy used by final consumers for all energy uses. It is the energy that reaches the final consumer’s door. PEC represents the total energy demand within a country, excluding the energy products consumed for purposes other than producing useful energy (non-energy uses, e.g. oil for plastics). For example, the electricity consumed by a household counts towards FEC; the fuel burned to generate that electricity counts towards PEC. FEC is the total energy consumed by end users, such as households, industry and agriculture.  PEC is the total energy demand of a country, excluding all non-energy uses of energy carriers (e.g. natural gas used not for combustion but for producing chemicals).  PEC includes transformation losses (e.g. the energy lost when transforming fuels into electricity). Renewables such as hydropower, wind power and solar photovoltaic power generate electricity directly, without any accounted transformation. As a result, generating electricity from these renewables results in lower PEC than from fossil fuels for the same amount of electricity produced.  More details on how FEC and PEC are calculated are provided in the methodology section below . Values for 2019 are approximate (proxies) and have been estimated by the EEA with the intention of providing early indications of recent trends in energy consumption. These proxies were not obtained following the formal collection process for official statistics and are therefore less accurate and reliable than official statistics. Proxies will be replaced with official statistics once they become available. Values for 2015-2018 were compiled and published by Eurostat, in collaboration with the relevant national authorities. Eurostat energy statistics are deemed to be the most accurate and reliable at EU level.

Final energy consumption by sector and fuel in Europe Final energy consumption covers the energy supplied to the final consumer for all energy uses. It is calculated as the sum of the final energy consumption of all sectors. These sectors are disaggregated to cover industry, transport, households, services and agriculture. The indicator can be presented in relative or absolute terms. The relative contribution of a specific sector is measured as the ratio of the final energy consumption of that sector to the total final energy consumption, calculated for each calendar year. It is a useful indicator that highlights a country's sectoral needs in terms of final energy demand.
