Directive 96/92/EC, the average Community share of electricity market opening, as effective in
2002, is 29,56 %.

This figure has been calculated by adding, on the one hand electricity consumed by final consumers
consuming more than 20GWh in all the Member States and, on the other, total net consumption in all
the Member States, and then dividing the first figure by the second.
