Supplementary notes

The source adds the following information: "The indicator shows the share of total energy needs of a country met by imports from other countries. It is calculated from energy balances as net imports divided by the gross available energy. Energy dependence = (imports – exports) / gross available energy.
Negative value indicates net exporter: country that exports more fuels than it consumes.
Values higher than 100% mostly refer to the build of stocks (increase of fule in stocks), however might be also a result of statistical discrepancies in raw data.."
