| Description |
The indicator measures how much energy every citizen consumes at home excluding energy used for transportation. Since the indicator refers to final energy consumption, only energy used by end consumers is considered. The related consumption of the energy sector itself is excluded. |
|---|---|
| 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 ‘Supporting people, strengthening our societies and our social model’. |
| Content and progress |
SDG 7 calls for ensuring universal access to modern energy services, improving energy efficiency and increasing the share of renewable energy. To accelerate the transition to an affordable, reliable, and sustainable energy system, countries need to facilitate access to clean energy research, promote investment in energy infrastructure and clean energy technology. Households account for about a quarter of final energy consumption. At home, people use electricity and fuels in particular for heating, cooling, warm water, lighting and appliances |
