READING THE DATA
What does energy productivity measure?
What is being measured
Energy productivity expresses economic value produced per unit of energy consumed, in €/kgoe. A higher value means more economic output for the same amount of energy.
What the ranking does not say
This indicator is neither an energy price nor the technical efficiency of equipment. It is also influenced by the structure of the economy and the weight of energy-intensive activities.
METHODOLOGY
Method
EnergyBoard uses the latest EU-27 period and only countries with a value for that same period. Missing values are never replaced by zero.
