In 2023, Germany retains the largest share of fossil energy consumption in commercial and public services in Europe, followed by Italy, the United Kingdom, and France. Trends from the past year show a decline in most countries, with notable decreases in Denmark, Slovakia, and Sweden. However, some countries like Luxembourg, Kosovo, and Malta experienced significant growth, suggesting a regional shift in energy trends. Despite the decline, Poland and Spain have shown a slight increase, defying the broader downward trend.
Looking ahead, trends to watch include how geopolitical developments and EU policies might impact energy strategies and consumption patterns. Countries with rising shares, such as Malta and Montenegro, may influence regional energy dynamics. Additionally, advancements in renewable energy adoption and efficiency measures will likely continue to drive shifts in fossil energy consumption across Europe, potentially leading to further reductions in the coming years.
