EU primary energy consumption decreased by 1% in 2024

1. „Final energy consumption reached 900 Mtoe in 2024, a 0.7% increase compared with 2023“

2. Seems like normal variance than a function of any policy.

3. SO… **Primary energy consumption** measures the total energy demand of a country. It covers consumption of the energy sector itself, losses during transformation (for example, from oil or gas into electricity) and distribution of energy, and the final consumption by end users. It excludes energy carriers used for non-energy purposes (such as petroleum not used not for combustion but for producing plastics).

   While this can be good, less transformation losses for example, citing less PEC itself it doesn’t show if this is de-industrialization, energy efficiency, or more efficient generation sources.

   This site appears to have a lot of Data, but you have to dig for information. Given the deeper dive into the site it appears this is a good thing of better generation and efficiency, not de-industrialization.
