1  For 2006, consumption of fuel wood and kerosene in cottages is included in the households energy consumption while this is excluded for other years. 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  Energy consumption corrected for temperature.
3  There is no coal or coke in the households energy consumption in 2009, but som pellets and wood briquettes.
