Net domestic energy use in manufacturing lower by almost a tenth

Net domestic energy use decreased by 3.3% in 2022 and amounted to 274,694 terajoules (TJ). The largest decrease was recorded in manufacturing (by 9.0%), followed by electricity, gas and air conditioning supply (by 7.5%). In transport and storage it decreased by 0.4%, while increases were recorded in construction (by 2.5%) and in wholesale and retail trade (by 2.0%). In all remaining sections of activities it went up by 8.2% in total, while in households it went down by 1.2%.

As regards individual sections of activities, net domestic energy use was the highest in electricity, gas and air conditioning supply (66,257 TJ, which amounted to 24.1% of all energy use) and in manufacturing (55,618 TJ or 20.2%). In households it amounted to 79,906 TJ or 29.1% of total net domestic energy use in that year.

Non-resident energy use in Slovenia down by more than a quarter

Resident units abroad used 9,337 TJ of energy in 2022, which is a 13.3% decrease over the previous year. Non-resident units in Slovenia used 5,727 TJ of energy, which is a 28.2% decrease over the previous year.

Over two thirds of energy from natural resources extracted in mining and quarrying

128,166 TJ of energy was obtained from natural resources, which is an 8.4% decrease over the previous year. The most, 88,082 TJ or 68.7% of all of this energy was obtained in mining and quarrying, followed by electricity, gas, steam and air conditioning supply with 21,982 TJ (17.2%), agriculture, forestry and fishing with 17.890 TJ (14.0%), public administration and defence with 115 TJ (0.1%) and manufacturing with 97 TJ (also 0.1%).

METHODOLOGICAL NOTE
The calculation is based on the residential principle, i.e. included are activities of all resident units of the national economy, irrespective of their geographical position.

The 2020–2022 period was affected by the COVID-19 epidemic and accompanying measures, which is partially mirrored in trends of energy use.

Additional explanations are available in the methodological explanations.
