All about energy
The price and quantity of energy in the EU depends on many supply and
demand factors, including geopolitics. With the Russian invasion of
Ukraine driving oil and gas prices to higher levels, energy has
become, for both governments and citizens, an even greater topic of
concern to be closely monitored. At the same time, however, the speed
with which energy prices currently change can make this monitoring
quite challenging.

To keep track of the dynamic price changes for energy and remain
informed about present and future energy trends, several EU energy
statistics tools can be used. 

Firstly, Eurostat´s Energy overview
[https://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/web/energy] provides easy access to
data on energy statistics, legislation, and publications, as well as
tools to visualise this data. For instance:

 	* Energy balances in one Member State can be discovered and compared
with others through interactive tables
[https://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/cache/infographs/energy_balances/enbal.html?geo=EU27_2020&unit=KTOE&language=EN&year=2020&fuel=fuelMainFuel&siec=TOTAL&details=0&chartOptions=0&stacking=normal&chartBal=&chart=&full=0&chartBalText=&order=DESC&siecs=&dataset=nrg_bal_s&decimals=0&agregates=0&fuelList=fuelElectricity,fuelCombustible,fuelNonCombustible,fuelOtherPetroleum,fuelMainPetroleum,fuelOil,fuelOtherFossil,fuelFossil,fuelCoal,fuelMainFuel]
and flow diagrams
[https://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/web/energy/energy-flow-diagrams]
customisable by fuel and level of detail;
 	* Energy prices can be visualised through a bar chart
[https://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/cache/infographs/energy_prices/enprices.html]
that can be tailored by country, type of fuel, customer, consumption
level and measuring unit;
 	* The world of energy trade can be explored through an immersive map
[https://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/cache/infographs/energy_trade/entrade.html]
of trade partners and trade flows per country and across countries;
 	* Energy trends can be easily spotted using an interactive tool
[https://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/cache/infographs/energy_monthly/enmonthly.html]
on monthly energy data as well as through the dashboard
[https://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/cache/infographs/energy_dashboard/endash.html]
on energy statistics and indicators.

In addition to these visualisation tools, accurate information on
energy statistics can be gathered through “Energy statistics made
easy [https://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/cache/infographs/energy/]”. It
is an interactive publication by Eurostat with straightforward texts,
visualisations and videos on several topics, such as European energy
policies, energy sources and flows, energy consumption, and
environmental concerns (e.g. greenhouse gases emissions).

Finally, the energy scenarios
[https://visitors-centre.jrc.ec.europa.eu/en/media/tools/energy-scenarios-explore-future-european-energy]
of the Joint Research Centre
[https://joint-research-centre.ec.europa.eu/index_en] can be extremely
useful to gain insights into the current energy production in the EU
and into further energy options for a more sustainable future. In
fact, this interactive tool allows to compare today´s energy use with
either historical energy use (2005) or future years (2030/2050) taken
from the European Commission’s scenarios. The statistics are further
broken down in energy use for electricity, industry, buildings, and
transports.
