KEY CONTEXT
How should the efficiency indicators for Ireland be read?
Latest figures
For 2024, primary consumption is 14.32 Mtoe and final consumption is 12.24 Mtoe. Energy productivity is 27.00 €/kgoe.
What the indicator measures
Primary consumption measures energy before transformation and losses, while final consumption is the energy actually delivered to final users.
Important distinction
Energy productivity, expressed in €/kgoe, complements these volumes by relating economic output to energy use. It is not an energy price.
