This report examines how energy is used in Jersey, highlighting where the Island’s energy comes from and who uses it, illustrating changes in energy supply and consumption over time. It describes the overall use of energy in Jersey using an “energy balance”. The balance describes how raw fuel or “primary energy” is supplied (e.g. through imports and on-Island production). It then demonstrates what happens to this primary energy; some types of primary energy can be transformed into different products (e.g. gas oil and heavy fuel oil can be used to generate electricity) whereas others are distributed in their original form. The balance then describes how the energy is used by the final consumers.
The report also looks at the supply and consumption of individual fuels in more detail as well as the cost of energy and energy-related carbon emissions.
