Evaluation of energy savings

    • Around 216 Mtoe of energy has been saved in 2022 compared to 2000 (24% of final energy consumption). Without these savings the final energy consumption would have been 24% higher in 2022.
    • Industry comes in first position with 38% of total savings, while it is only in third place in total final consumption (after transport and households).
    • Households, which is the sector with the highest number of regulations and financial measures, is also overrepresented, with a share of total savings of 36%, which is much higher than its share in final consumption (28%).
    • Savings in transport lag behind with savings much lower than their share in consumption (18% vs 31%).
