| Description |
The indicator measures the amount of economic output that is produced per unit of gross available energy. The gross available energy represents the quantity of energy products necessary to satisfy all demand of entities in the geographical area under consideration. The economic output is either given as in the unit of Euros in chain-linked volumes to the reference year 2010 at 2010 exchange rates or in the unit PPS (Purchasing Power Standard). |
|---|---|
| Rationale |
Indicator is used to monitor progress towards SDG 7 on affordable and clean energy and SDG 12 on ensuring sustainable consumption and production patterns. This indicator can be considered as similar to global SDG indicator 7.3.1 “Energy intensity measured in terms of primary energy and GDP”. Increasing energy productivity, i.e. decoupling economic growth from energy consumption, is key to reaching SDG 7 without harming economic development. |
| Content and progress |
SDG7 is embedded in the European Commission’s Priorities under ‘Supporting people, strengthening our societies and our social model’. 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. SDG 12 calls for a comprehensive set of actions from businesses, policy-makers, researchers and consumers to adapt to sustainable practices. It envisions sustainable production and consumption based on advanced technological capacity, resource efficiency and reduced global waste. |
