Slight recovery in energy consumption in 2016 (1% vs. 0.5% in 2015)
Although China, the world’s largest energy consumer since 2009, recorded a rebound in growth in 2016, its energy consumption development has seriously slowed over the past three years in comparison to the trend observed over the 2000-2013 period. Weak economic growth and a move to a less industrial-based economy combined with strong energy efficiency gains and the government’s willingness to decarbonize the economy, has reduced coal consumption, and explains recent developments.
Energy consumption was flat in the USA in 2016 because of the deep fall in coal use, offset by slight increase in oil and gas consumption.
India continued to support world energy consumption representing a quarter of the global rise in 2016.
Strong rising trends have been recorded in Turkey and in Asian countries such as Indonesia, Malaysia and South Korea.
Conversely, energy consumption has declined in Latin America, driven by Brazil, Colombia, Mexico, while that of the European Union remained steady.

DONG Energy's 659 MW Walney-3 wind project starts generating power (UK)
DONG Energy delivered first power at the 659 MW Walney-3 offshore wind park (also known as Walney extension, located 19 km from the Walney Island, off Cumbria in the Irish Sea) in the United Kingdom. The first turbine has been installed and power is now exported to the British National Grid. The wind project will consist of 40 Vestas and 47 Siemens wind turbines. The park is scheduled to be operational in 2018. In May 2010, the Walney Extension project (Walney-3) was awarded and the application for consent was accepted by the Planning Inspectorate in July 2013.
