Figure 4.2:
Evolution of European yearly gas consumption and its breakdown
Table 4.1:
Breakdown of the year to year gas consumption evolution
4.2.1.1 Split between final and power generation demand ( last 5 years )
While the evolution of domestic, commercial and industrial consumption has
remained stable, the gas consumption for power generation has continuously
decreased since 2010. In 2013 the power generation sector share of gas consump-
tion had fallen to just 17%. Some of the key factors behind these trends are explored
