Electricity's share of final energy use
How much of the energy that homes, businesses, industry and transport use comes as electricity, as a share of all the fuels and electricity they use, for the European Union and European countries since 1990, as calculated by Eurostat. Non-energy uses of fuels, such as feedstocks for plastics, are not counted.

What was done to it
Read Eurostat dataset nrg_ind_fecf ('Share of fuels in final energy consumption', updated 2026-07-16) from the dissemination API (fetched 2026-10-08, sha256 40dddd7fe048…), filtered to nrg_bal FC_E, siec E7000, unit PC.

Kept only the EU, its member states, the EFTA states and the official candidate countries, whose data Eurostat lets anyone reuse; checked the candidates against Eurostat's glossary page; mapped Eurostat's two-letter codes to ISO 3166-1 alpha-3 (EU27_2020 to EU27).

Kept Eurostat's status flags as notes, with their labels from the response; a provisional flag marks the value preliminary, and a flagged cell without a value is published as missing with the flag as the reason.
