The overall energy balance sheets for 2014 and 2015 are presented in three matrixes according to Eurostat’s methodology:

• transformed energy matrix;

• final energy consumption matrix.

Transformation input in power and heat plants is included.

 

Data in tables concerning international comparisons are taken from: 

• Eurostat Database - Energy Statistics;

• Sustainable development indicators - theme 6 'Climate change and energy'.

 

Data are presented in volume measures - tons, cubic meters, kWh, etc. The common energy unit used for the overall energy balance sheet is ‘ton of oil equivalent’.

The following dependence exists between units:

1 GJoule = 0. 239 Gcal = 278 kWh = 0. 02389 toe. 

 

Periodicity of the publication is annual.

The publication is available on CD-ROM and is published on the NSI website.
