Highlights

  • Luxembourg aims to reach a share of 25% of renewables in its final energy consumption in 2030 and a reduction of 55% of its GHG emissions.
  • Encevo is the dominant energy company.
  • SEO operates the largest power plant.
  • Almost 90% of the electricity consumed is imported.
  • Around 80% of gasoline and diesel sales is purchased by non-residents because of lower prices than in neighbour countries.
  • Electricity and gas prices are well below the EU averages due to low taxation.
  • The country's energy consumption per capita is high due to steel production and fuel tourism.
  • 2020 marked a fall in energy consumption trend before a rebound in 2021.
  • Luxembourg plans to develop electricity interconnections with Belgium, Germany, and France.

  • Institutions & Energy Policy

    The Ministry of Energy and Spatial Planning, through its Department of Energy, is responsible for the energy sector.

    The Ministry of Environment, Climate and Sustainable Development, also established in 2018, oversees greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reduction policies.

    The Luxembourg Institute of Regulation (ILR) regulates the electricity and gas markets.

  • Energy Companies

    Electricity:

    Encevo is the main energy company in Luxembourg as it holds Enovos and LEO, the main energy retailers, and controls Creos, the grid operator.

  • Energy Supply

    Oil:

    Oil products are mainly imported from Belgium and amounted to 2.5 Mt in 2021.

  • Energy Prices

    Gas:

    Gas prices follow international prices. After a 32% decline between 2013 and 2017, residential gas prices increased to 4.3 €c/kWh in 2019. They decreased to 3.8€c/kWh in 2020 before slightly rising to 3.9€c/kWh in 2021. Industrial prices decreased by 42% between 2012 and 2020 before surging by 33% up to 3.89€c/kWh in 2021.

  • Energy Consumption

    The country's consumption per capita reached 5.7 toe in 2021, of which electricity accounts for about 10.1 MWh, which is around twice the EU average. Part of this high consumption is linked to steel production and to fuel tourism for motor fuels.

  • Economic Indicators: Annual historical data including population, GDP growth, imports and exports, inflation rate, energy security and efficiency indicators, CO2 emissions.
  • Supply Indicators: Historical data including oil and gas reserves, electric and refining capacity, energy production, power production and external trade. All are detailed by energy source.
  • Demand Indicators: Historical data including consumption per inhabitant, consumption trends, total consumption by energy source, final consumption by energy source and sector, and electricity consumption by sector.
  • Energy Balances: Single table displaying the overall energy industry balance per annum, also graphically displayed by energy sub-segment.
  • Infrastructure Projects: Covers power plant projects by energy, technology, status and operator.

The Luxembourg energy market data since 1990 and up to is included in the Excel file accompanying the Luxembourg country report.
It showcases the historical evolution, allowing users to easily work with the data.

Key Data included in the excelsheet:

  • Economic indicators: Annual historical economic indicators, energy security, energy efficiency and CO2 emissions.
  • Supply indicators: Annual historical reserves, capacity, production and external trade (imports(+) exports(-) balance).
  • Demand indicators: Annual historical consumption per capita, consumption trends, total consumption, final consumption (per energy and per sector) and electricity consumption total and per sector.
  • Energy Balance: total and per energy.
  • Luxembourg Energy Prices: In addition to the analysis provided on the report we also provided a data set which includes historical details on the Luxembourg energy prices for the follow items: price of premium gasoline (taxes incl.), price of diesel (taxes incl.), price of electricity in industry (taxes incl.), price of electricity for households (taxes incl.), price of natural gas in industry (taxes incl.), prices of natural gas for households (taxes incl.), spot price of Brent and CO2 emissions (from fuel combustion).

The Luxembourg country report is complemented with a national power generation dashboard (excel file) from our Power Plant Tracker Service.

Data included in the excelsheet:

  • New capacities: Current power mix, installed capacity at date, capacity under construction and under development.
  • Power Sector Performances: Historical data on installed capacity, power generation, thermal power plants inputs, average thermal power plant efficiency, CO2 emissions of the power sector, carbon factor of the power sector.
