Germany’s primary energy consumption on the rise
Federal Statistical Office
Primary energy consumption in Germany has slightly increased since it reached an all-time low in 2014, the Federal Statistical Office (Destatis) says in a press release. Provisional figures indicate that primary energy consumption is on the rise but the statistics office adds that the figure was “frequently subject to substantial annual variations” contingent on the weather and economic growth. Germany’s primary energy consumption fell by 6.5 percent between 2008 and 2016.
