European energy consumption has greatly decreased in 2022
According to the French media report on December 20, 2022, due to the energy crisis in 2022, European energy consumption has greatly decreased. According to the data of Eurostat, from August to November 2022, the natural gas consumption of EU countries has decreased by about 20% compared with the demand in the same period from 2017 to 2021. In France, electricity consumption in the autumn of 2022 has decreased by about 10% compared with the same period from 2014 to 2019, which is a historical data. Because even in the early days of the COVID-19 epidemic in 2020, the electricity consumption in France only declined by 14%.
In order to reduce energy consumption, many European families are lowering the indoor air conditioning temperature setting, but the result of the decline in demand is not just the efforts made by families. In Europe, many enterprises have also greatly reduced the demand for natural gas. This decline in the demand for natural gas concerns all consumers, service industries and industries, and also reflects the behavior changes caused by the soaring natural gas prices.
The media reported that the shrinking energy consumption could also avoid power cuts and make it easier for people to survive the winter. If such efforts can continue, the risk of power supply problems can be reduced. These figures also prove that the EU should be able to weather the coming months smoothly.
However, the recent decline in energy demand has also put pressure on economic growth. These figures also show that because of the capacity compression caused by the "price effect", many enterprises began to reduce production or even shut down some factories.
On January 5 local time, French President Markron said that some energy suppliers had made huge profits in the European energy crisis. At present, many small and micro enterprises in France have started to have business problems due to the high energy costs. The energy costs of some enterprises have increased by 5 times or even 10 times compared with the past, which is abnormal.
Makron urged energy suppliers to renegotiate with small and micro enterprises to provide energy at a reasonable price to avoid a sharp rise in enterprise costs. According to the data released by Eurostat on January 5, due to the energy crisis, the energy price in the euro area in November 2022 rose significantly from the same period of the previous year, with a rise of 55.7%.
