Primary Energy Demand per Capita in Ukraine, as compared to other CEE countries, Austria, and the EU 15, 2008
Development of Primary Energy Demand per Capita in Ukraine, other CEE countries, Austria, and the EU 15
The decline of energy demand per capita is mainly due to the reduction of energy demand in industry. The trend of steadily rising primary energy demand, which is visible in the EU and Austria, can in CEE up to now only be seen in Slovenia, and, covertly, in Hungary and Slovak Republic.
