Electricity

Electricity shows final consumption and trade in electricity (which is accounted at the same heat value as electricity in final consumption; i.e. 1 GWh = 0.000086 Mtoe). Gross electricity production is measured at the terminals of all alternator sets in a station; it therefore includes the energy taken by station auxiliaries and losses in transformers that are considered integral parts of the station. The difference between gross and net production is generally calculated as 7 per cent for conventional thermal stations, 1 per cent for hydro stations, and 6 per cent for nuclear, geothermal and solar stations. Hydro stations' production includes production from pumped storage plants.
