Summary
The Energy Trends report looks at the supply and use of various fuels such as electricity, gas and petroleum products. It also focuses on changes over time.
The 2017 report shows:
Supply:
- almost all of Jersey’s energy supply was imported; about 2% was produced on-Island as electricity generated by the Energy from Waste Facility
- petroleum products accounted for almost two-thirds (63%) of Jersey’s energy supply; electricity (imported and on-Island generated) accounted for the remainder (37%)
- Jersey’s total primary energy supply (TPES) was 6% lower than in 2016, driven by a decrease in the importation of petroleum products used for on-Island electricity generation
Use:
- total final energy consumption (FEC) was 3% lower than in 2016
- energy consumption per head of resident population was 1.4 toe and was below that of the UK (2.1 toe)
- more than a third (38%) of energy used was consumed by households, a similar proportion (34%) was used for transportation (predominantly road transport) and over a quarter (28%) was used by industry and government
