Demand per Capita
Due to very high consumption of Aluminium Smelter Podgorica (KAP), Montenegro has gross per capita electricity consumption of 6.500 KWh annually.
KAP participates on gross Consum with 44 %.

Energy Intensity
Energy intensity factor is very high, e.g. in 2003 – 18 MJ/EUR (0.432 kgoe/EUR).

The deviation of electricity demand per GDP of a country from that of Austria or the EU average indicates, how efficiently electricity is utilised in the respective economy in comparison to the EU or to Austria, or, conversely, which gains in efficiency are to be realised. If the electricity demands per GDP decreases - what can be expected for the future in CEE countries - more national income in the form of GDP will be produced with the same amount of electricity (the black bars in the figure will decrease in this case).
Prospects for Energy Saving
Considering RES potential, main focuses of Energy Efficiency strategy and low-energy intensity of whole economy is the agreed path to sustainable development.
Main tasks:
- Energy efficiency in building stock
- Energy efficiency in industry – energy management in industry
- Substitution, where possible and progressive use of renewable energy sources
- Rationalization and increased efficiency in transport
- Establishing of energy efficiency units in Montenegro (CJEE).
- Regulatory and legislative changes
- Sub – regulatory measures
- International co-operation
- Internationally related economic programs within energy sector
