| Description |
The indicator measures the energy end-use in a country excluding all non-energy use of energy carriers (e.g. natural gas used not for combustion but for producing chemicals). “Final energy consumption” covers only the energy consumed by end users, such as industry, transport, households, services and agriculture; it excludes energy consumption of the energy sector itself and losses occurring during transformation and distribution of energy. |
|---|---|
| Rationale |
Indicator is used to monitor progress towards SDG 7 on affordable and clean energy, which is embedded in the European Commission’s Priorities under the ‘Supporting people, strengthening our societies and our social model’. The EU is implementing an interconnected set of measures “Fit for 55” to reach the new climate targets for 2030 and has followed a new strategic plan REPowerEU to reduce the EU dependency on energy imports. |
| Content and progress |
The European Green Deal includes energy efficiency as a key measure for reducing cross-sectoral GHG emissions. Energy efficiency and Renewable energy Directives set ambitious EU targets to be reached by 2030. |
| Long-term objective |
