According to the source, energy consumption here refers to primary energy consumption adjusted for efficiency losses in fossil fuels by treating non-fossil sources, like wind and solar, as equally inefficient as coal or gas. This adjustment is made by dividing energy from non-fossil sources by a standard thermal efficiency factor, usually around 0.4.
