5. Energy intensities for Member States
different baseat market prices in 2005) money, PPP or market rates.
(kgoe/$US GDP years, real or current
The energy intensity of an economy depends strongly on the
structure of the economy;
Economies that emphasize heavy industry will normally have higher
energy intensities than economies that are characterized by high
value added businesses and services.
Energy intensity is mainly useful to examine trends; and it is not a
value judgment on the performance of EE.
