Gesamtenergieintensität
Gesamtenergieintensität refers to the total energy consumed per unit of economic output. It is a key indicator used to measure the energy efficiency of a national economy or a specific sector. A lower Gesamtenergieintensität signifies a more efficient use of energy in producing goods and services, meaning less energy is required to generate a given amount of economic value. Conversely, a high Gesamtenergieintensität suggests that a significant amount of energy is being used inefficiently.
This metric is typically calculated by dividing the total primary energy consumption of a country or region
Governments and international organizations monitor Gesamtenergieintensität to inform energy policy, set targets for energy savings, and
