A review of the evolution of energy intensity in European and Former Soviet Union countries indicates a positive trend: high-energy-intensity countries have now reached the level of medium-energy-intensity economies 15 years earlier, and in the same period, medium-energy-intensity ones had similarly evolved to levels of low-energy-intensity. At the same time, the fast transitioning economies of Central Europe converged towards similar levels of energy intenWorld Bank e-Library.Energy consumptionEuropeEnergy consumptionFormer Soviet republicsEnergy policyEuropeEnergy policyFormer Soviet republicsEnergy consumptionEnergy consumptionEnergy policyEnergy policy333.79/17Stuggins Gary1671559Sharabaroff Alexander1686922Semikolenova Yadviga1686923World Bank.DLCDLCBOOK9910813541803321Energy efficiency4060016UNINA
