Telenor's total energy consumption in 2000 was 676 GWh. The energy was used for the heating, cooling and lighting of buildings (291 GWh), for network operation (216 GWh) and for transport (170 GWh).

Since our environmental accounting commenced in 1997, the basis of the data obtained has improved steadily. The diagrams below show the results for 2000, and figures have been included to enable comparison with1998 and 1999.

Energy consumption - totals (GWh/year)


Summary of Telenor's energy consumption in 1998, 1999 and 2000, according to purpose (GWh)

Energy consumption 2000

Distribution in percent of energy consumption in 2000, according to purpose

43% of all energy consumption was in connection with the operation of buildings, approximately 32% with network operation and 25% with transport.

Energy sources
A large proportion of Telenor's energy consumption - 496 GWh or 73.4% - is in the form of electrical energy. The remaining 180 GWh comes from fossil fuels, in the form of various types of oil and petroleum fuel.

Of the total energy amount supplied, 73.7% comes from renewable sources.

Types of energy consumed in 2000

Summary of Telenor's energy consumption in 1998, 1999 and 2000 for different energy carriers (GWh)

Types of energy consumed in 2000

Distribution in percent of energy consumption in 2000, according to energy carrier. Electricity makes up 73.4% of the total consumption of energy, while fossil fuels account for 26.2%.

Environmental indicators for energy
The following is a summary of the energy-related results for 2000. In order to indicate the development with time, the results for 1998 and 1999 are included.

Total energy consumption

Year * =not including Norkring ** =including Norkring	Total energy consumption
	total (GWh)	per man-year (kWh per man-year)	per subscriber (kWh per subscriber)	per turnover (kWh/NOK)
1998*	579.5	33 800	171	0,02
1999**	639.9	35 400	169	0,02
2000**	675.9	32 800	170	0,02

Energy consumption, transport
per man-year (kWh per man-year)

Comments on the total energy consumption
- The total energy consumption has increased by 5.6% during 2000, but in terms of the energy consumption per man-year, it has fallen by 7.3%. Energy consumption in terms of consumption per customer (subscriber) or per turnover has been stable in the past three years.

Environmental indicators for energy consumption in terms of purpose

Year * =not including Norkring ** =including Norkring	Energy consumption, buildings corrected for climatic effects		Energy consumption, transport		Energy consumption, network operation
	total GWh	per m2 floor space 746.000 m2 kWh/m2	total GWh	per man-year kWh per man-year	total GWh	per subscriber kWh per subscriber
1998*	290	528	151	8554	157	44,8
1999**	292	532	161	8553	222	56,3
2000**	317	512	170	8232	216	54,2

Year * =not including Norkring ** =including Norkring	Electricity consumption		Percentage of renewable energy
	total GWh	per man-year kWh per man-year	% of total consumption
1998*	425	23 990	68.5
1999**	494	26 250	74.4
2000**	496	24 100	73.7

Comments on energy consumption - different purposes
- Energy consumption in buildings also shows an increase, but in terms of consumption per square metre of floor space, the figure has decreased steadily in the last three years.
- Energy consumption in transport also shows a slight increase, but again, in terms of the consumption per man-year, it has fallen by a relatively large amount.
- Energy consumption in network operation has decreased by 6 GWh in the last year, which also represents a reduction in relation to the number of subscribers.
- Electricity consumption as previously mentioned amounts to 73.4% of the total consumption of energy, which can be said to be environmentally positive, as this is a renewable energy source. On the other hand the aim is to reduce the use of electricity for purposes for which energy carriers of lower quality could be used to a greater extent.
