Figure 37: Average electricity consumption per principal heating source other than electricity (kWh/year, dwelling) per dwelling per region and for Belgium (survey results) Avoiding a biased picture, Figure 37 only includes the average consumptions for which the number of the survey results is sufficient. Eurostat uses reference consumers for gas and electricity prices that are presented at national level for EU Member States. Reference consumers for gas and electricity are characterised by the following annual consumption bands: Electricity households: Da (Very small): annual consumption below 1 000 kWh Db (Small): annual consumption between 1 000 and 2 500 kWh Dc (Medium): annual consumption between 2 500 and 5 000 kWh Dd (Large): annual consumption between 5 000 and 15 000 kWh De (Very large): annual consumption above 15000 kWh Natural gas households: D1 (Small): annual consumption below 20 GJ (or 5556 kWh) D2 (Medium): annual consumption between 20 and 200 GJ D3 (Large): annual consumption above 200 GJ (or 55556 kWh) We can use those references to characterize the households in our survey. This information is not published by Eurostat and so couldn’t be compared.
