1  Energy consumption per household is calculated by dividing the total energy consumption from the the annual energy balance on the number of households for all years.
2  The figures for 1990 and 2001 are taken from the Population and Housing Census, while the figure from and inclusive 2005 is taken from population statistics in Statistics Norway (calculated middle population figures). The number of households for years between 2001 and 2005 are interpolated.
