This section presents data from Greece's Energy Balances about the production and consumption of energy.
Total energy supply records the energy that is available in a country. Total energy supply consists of primary energy production (e.g. fossil fuel extraction or production from renewable sources), energy imports from abroad (e.g. oil and gas imports), excluding energy exports and energy consumption as fuel by ships and airplanes to international destinations.
Greece has relatively few sources of primary production and imports most of its energy. The next graph presents the evolution of the total energy supply and its various sources.
The energy that is available for final consumption is less than the total energy supply because some energy is lost during transformation (e.g. turning natural gas to electricity), some energy is used by the energy sector (e.g. in the mining process for lignite), and some energy is lost during distribution. the process of transformation or distribution and .
The graph shows the evolution of energy available for final consumption and its relation with total energy supply.
The energy that is available for final consumption is used by various sectors. The next graph presents the distribution of final energy consumption by sector.
The next graph shows the evolution of primary energy production in Greece decomposed by source and by whether it is from renewable sources.
The next graph presents the evolution of energy imports.
The next graph presents the evolution of energy exports.
The next graph presents the evolution of electricity production by fuel source.
The next graph presents the evolution of electricity production capacity.
