GEN – 1429.00. The EU statistical pocketbook 2022 on EU energy in figures has been recently published. Major findings on the EU energy sector can be found in there.

Summary of the pocketbook 2022

The energy sector is one of the pillars of growth, competitiveness and development for modern economies. To keep up with the ongoing transformation of the energy sector in Europe, we need data that is accurate and up-to-date.

This publication provides an overview of the most relevant annual energy-related statistics for the European Union as a whole and for each of its Member States.

The data contained in this pocketbook is drawn from several sources: Eurostat and other European Commission’s services, the European Environment Agency, the International Energy Agency.

The publication comprises five parts:

  • Part 1. Overview of main data on World and European Union energy
  • Part 2. Main energy statistics and indicators for the European Union and its Member States
  • Part 3. Socio-economic indicators in the European Union
  • Part 4. Greenhouse gas emissions in the European Union
  • Part 5. Country profiles – main statistics and indicators for the European Union and its Member States

The indicators are calculated using the methodology established by the European Commission – DG Energy and aligned to Eurostat and international statistics approaches. The appendices include a glossary and methodological notes.

This publication comprises the most recently available data at the time of release. Corrections and updates will be released periodically in the energy statistical datasheets at: https://energy.ec.europa.eu/data-and-analysis/eu-energy-statistical-pocketbook-and-country-datasheets_en.

Recommended actions

The pocketbook provides a useful source of information, besides the detail on 27 EU countries, the more global picture proves to be of interest. Overall, the data can be useful when preparing possible outlines for future developments.
