In 2023, Germany leads the European fossil energy final consumption by households, followed by the United Kingdom and Italy. Notable year-on-year reductions occurred in Ukraine and Denmark by 8.55% and 5.16%, respectively. Meanwhile, Slovakia and Moldova showed positive growth with increases of 2.2% and 5.69%. Over the last five years, the compounded average growth rate (CAGR) highlights a general trend of decline in most countries, with a few exceptions where slight increases are observed.
Future trends to watch include the potential increase in renewable energy adoption, which may further decrease fossil energy consumption. Additionally, policy changes targeting energy efficiency could accelerate the decline in household fossil energy consumption across Europe.
