This implies that the total energy consumption becomes about 1 per cent higher, and fuel wood 5 per cent (almost 200 kWh) higher than it would have been if this not has been included for this year.
2  There is no coal or coke in the households energy consumption in 2009, but som pellets and wood briquettes.
