  • Increasing trend of final energy consumption between 2014 and 2019 (1%/year), driven by a strong economic growth (2.2%/year) and decreasing energy prices.
  • Before that, the trend was decreasing between 2007 and 2014 (-1.1%/year) and increasing before 2007 (+0.7%/year).
  • Electricity consumption follows final energy consumption trends: after a decreasing period between 2007 and 2014 (-0.6%/year), it has been increasing again (+0.6%/year) until 2019. Since 2019, it has decreased by 0.9%/year.
