Label: primary energy consumption value
Definition:
A primary energy consumption value is an energy consumption value expressing the magnitude of the total consumption of energy in a spatial region excluding the non-energetic use of fuels.Editor note:
Primary energy consumption covers consumption of the energy sector itself, losses during transformation (for example, from oil or gas into electricity) and distribution of energy, and the final consumption by end users. It excludes energy carriers used for non-energy purposes (such as petroleum not used not for combustion but for producing plastics).
