Energy efficiency’s key role in explaining the performance of energy consumption in Andalusia (Spain)
The EU commitment to improve energy efficiency will help the EU economies to reduce energy consumption and achieve the desired decoupling between economic and energy consumption growth.

| Resumo: | The EU commitment to improve energy efficiency will help the EU economies to reduce energy consumption and achieve the desired decoupling between economic and energy consumption growth. For that aim, not only are the member states’ commitments important, the role that the European regions adopt when they develop their own energy policies is also paramount. Among them, the Andalusia region (south of Spain) has been chosen as a case study due to its economic and energy characteristics. This paper aims to inform about the role played by energy efficiency, explaining the energy consumption behaviour in Andalusia and in comparison with the Spanish average for the period 2000-2015, through the Logarithmic Mean Divisia Index (LMDI) decomposition method. |
