In 2023, Germany led European fossil energy final consumption by households with a 22.32% share, showing a modest 0.2% increase from the previous year. The UK and Italy followed with shares of 15.36% and 11.89%, respectively, despite a decline in both countries. France and Poland also saw decreasing trends. Notably, Ukraine experienced the largest drop at -8.55%, while Moldova and Kosovo recorded the largest increases in consumption. Countries like Hungary and Slovakia also demonstrated growth, while Nordic countries like Finland, Denmark, and Sweden observed declines.
Looking towards the future, the trend suggests a potential decrease in fossil energy consumption as European households increasingly adopt renewable energy solutions. Countries with declining shares may continue on this trajectory as they implement stricter energy policies. The Arctic and Balkan regions might see newer trends arising from geopolitical and climate-related factors impacting energy sourcing and consumption.
