Energy Dependency of EU Countries

Europe's Energy Portal has statistics on the energy dependency of the EU-member states.
The portal aims to guide us Toward a low-carbon, environmentally friendly & sustainable future.

The gross energy consumption of the EU27 in 2008 was 1825 Million tonnes oil equivalent (Mtoe). Net imports was 1010 Mtoe which means an energy dependency ratio of 53.8%.
