Description

These statistics on total consumption of energy describe the commensurate total consumption of domestic energy sources and imported energy in Finland. Total consumption of energy describes fuels used in the production and processing of energy, and energy used in direct, final consumption. Final consumption of energy, in turn, measures the consumption of finished energy products, that is, electricity and heat, and fuels used for space heating of buildings, transport and industrial processes. The difference between total consumption and final consumption depicts energy conversion and transmission losses.

Data content

Total consumption of energy includes data on use of fossil fuels, energy peat, renewable energy sources, nuclear energy and net imports of electricity.

Final consumption of energy is divided into the sectors of manufacturing, transport, heating of buildings and others.

Classifications used

Classification of fuels and energy sources

Data collection methods and data sources

The data are based on Statistics Finland's own data materials and statistics collected by energy organisations. In addition, energy consumption of some sectors derives from the results of the calculation models.

Data collections

Time of completion or release

The preliminary statistics are completed in the March of the year following the statistical year and the final data are available by the end of November.
