In 2018, gross energy consumption in industry remained stable at 37.4 million tonnes of oil equivalent. On the other hand, after a 2% rise in 2017, total energy costs for industrial businesses were up 9% in current euros, reaching 14.5 billion euros. The continued rise was mainly due to an increase in the prices of petroleum products (+20%), steam (+12%) and gas (+10%). Gas and electricity remained the most consumed energy sources.
