Data mainly come from Eurostat: energy, prices, climate, households, transport, housing and Census 2021.
METHODOLOGY
How EnergyBoard transforms Eurostat data
EnergyBoard does more than display figures. It selects, imports, normalises and contextualises official series so data with different units, periods or geographical levels can be read correctly.
From official source to published page
Relevant series are retrieved server-side and stored in EnergyBoard’s local database.
Dimensions, units, periods, categories and geographies are filtered before comparisons.
Observations become dashboards, time series, rankings, maps and comparisons.
Official sources across several data families
EnergyBoard relies mainly on public Eurostat datasets covering household and business electricity and gas prices, renewables, energy dependency, electricity generation, installed capacity, consumption and energy productivity. The scope also includes household energy use, HDD/CDD degree days, transport, housing conditions, heating systems and Census 2021.
A Eurostat figure is multidimensional
An observation depends on geography and time and often also on a unit, energy product, end use, consumption band, tax level or housing category. EnergyBoard filters these dimensions before storing or displaying a series.
Units remain distinct
MW is power; MWh/GWh/TWh are energy quantities; TJ and PJ are large energy volumes; Mtoe is normalised energy; €/kWh is a price; €/kgoe is productivity; HDD/CDD are climate indices. In housing data, NR is a number and PC a percentage.
Reference years may differ
Census 2021, 2023 heating data and 2025 housing-condition indicators must not be read as if they described the same year. EnergyBoard keeps each source year visible.
Countries, EU-27 and NUTS 2 regions
National pages use Eurostat country codes and the EU27_2020 aggregate. Regional climate data also use NUTS 2. Regional values are not presented as national values.
Rankings use a common period
Countries are ranked only when comparable observations exist for the same reference period.
Missing data and revisions
A missing observation remains missing and is never turned into zero. Eurostat may revise published values; regular imports allow EnergyBoard to reflect those corrections.
Derived calculations
EnergyBoard may calculate changes over time, gaps with the EU-27, shares, scale conversions and rankings. Source observations remain the basis.
Limits and independence
EnergyBoard is independent and is neither an Eurostat service nor an official European Union website. Coverage depends on the source datasets and missing observations are not automatically interpolated.
