The map shows the consumption of electric energy per region in GWh (size of circles) by consumer group (households indicated with green, industry indicated with beige and services indicates with blue). The metropolitan regions in the Nordic countries with the highest level of consumption of electric power are Stockholm, Västra Götaland, Oslo-Akershus, Hordaland, Uusimaa and Skåne. Services are the most intensive sectors in these regions in particular Stockholm, Oslo and Uusimaa. Households also stand for a considerable proportion of the total consumption of electricity in the metropolitan regions. The industrial sector is the major consumer in Iceland followed by Finland, Norway and Sweden. The mining industry is among the most energy intensive, particularly in Iceland, but also in Norway and Sweden. The pulp and paper industry also consumes a considerable share of electricity particularly in Sweden and Finland. As a consequence of the availability of natural resources for these industrial activities the regions with high energy consumption patterns by industrial sector are often located in the northern regions of Sweden, across Finland or along the west coast of Norway.
