Final energy consumption describes the energy that is directly consumed by an end-user. SEAI analyses final energy consumption in the commercial services sector by energy product and by sub-sector.

  • Following 2008, SEAI has used the annual BEUS publication from the CSO to disaggregate energy consumption across the commercial services sector.
