Primary and final energy intensities trends in the EU (normal climate)

Since 2000, primary intensity has decreased faster than final intensity at EU level and in most EU Member States due to decreasing losses in the power sector (increasing efficiency of thermal generation, diffusion of renewables, increasing imports, etc.). This is especially significant since 2014, and even since 2019, with the very rapid penetration of renewables.
An opposite trend can be seen in Belgium and in the Netherlands, due to specific factors.
