They present flows of energy products according to the divisions and scope of national accounts. Flows include supply from production, extraction or imports and use in the form of consumption, exports and stock changes. Energy consumption in the the energy accounts is fully comparable with the description of the economic activity as described in the national accounts. In 1974, the first energy accounts for Denmark were made for the years back to 1966., Statistical presentation, The energy accounts account for 46 different energy commodities. The energy accounts are made up in specific physical quantities (tonnes, m3, GWh), energy units (joule) and gross energy consumption. The energy account is published in newsletters (Nyt) and in the statistical database. , Read more about statistical presentation, Statistical processing, Energy accounts are compiled using a method of product balancing.
