(in GWh)
The source adds the following information: "Since 2008, the figures of residential buildings include the energy for heating domestic water. Before this and in the figures of service buildings the energy for heating domestic water is included only as concerns central heating systems.
From 2008 onwards, electricity includes more extensively than before electricity use of equipment connected to heating (e.g. electricity used by heat pumps, electric saunas stoves and electricity consumed by heating systems and heat distribution equipment). No breakdown into electric heating of agricultural production buildings and other electricity consumption is available."
