District heating statistics

The information gathered each year by Finnish Energy Industries is compiled into statistical publications on district heating. The statistical data is then forwarded into national and international energy statistics. Finnish Energy Industries has agreed on statistical co-operation with Statistics Finland: the association gathers information on Finland’s district heating operations and provides Statistics Finland with summaries based on this data. Statistics Finland uses the information, e.g., to compile preliminary energy statistics, annual statistics and quarterly national accounts. Statistics Finland also reports the required data monthly and annually to Eurostat, the Statistical Office of the European Communities, and to the International Energy Agency, which is the energy organisation of the OECD.

Finnish Energy Industries publishes the following statistics on district heating containing enterprise-specific information:

  • District heating statistics (available to download on the website and in paper format, which can be ordered)
