Key selections

  • Final energy consumption declined by four per cent in 2022.
  • The consumption of electricity decreased by six per cent and that of heat by four per cent. Fuels for heat production were also consumed less. By contrast, the consumption of nuclear energy grew by seven per cent and that of wind power by 41 per cent from the previous year.
  • The reason for the decreased consumption was warmer weather than in the previous year, which led to a lesser need for heating particularly visible in energy consumption in households and service industries.
  • The exceptionally high price of electricity also reduced the consumption of electricity in households.
  • In transportation and storage, consumption grew by 13 per cent year-on-year. Energy consumption in agriculture and forestry remained on level with the previous year.
