1  More information is available in the publications Economic analyses" no. 4/2010 and no 6/2011. Some of the calculated shares have been changed somewhat since then due to revisions of the data.
2  Energy from heat pumps for 2010 is still not calculated and has due to that not been updated for 2010.
