Electric power consumption (kwh per capita)

Electricity consumption measures the production of power plants and combined heat and power plants, less distribution losses, and own use by heat and power plants. For more information, see Tables: WDI 5.10.

Electric power transmission and distribution losses (% of output)

Electric power transmission and distribution losses include losses in transmission between sources of supply and points of distribution and in the distribution to consumers, including pilferage. Production less transmission and distribution losses, own-us e, and transformation losses is equal to end-use electricity consumption. For more information, see Tables: WDI 5.10.

Electricity production (kwh)

Electricity production is measured at the terminals of all alternator sets in a station. In addition to electricity generated by hydropower, coal, oil, gas, and nuclear power, it covers that generated by geothermal, solar, wind, and tide and wave energy, as well as that from combustible renewables and waste. Production includes the output of electricity plants that are designed to produce electricity only as well as that of combined heat and power plants. Sources of electricity refer to the inputs used to generate electricity: hydropower, coal, oil, gas, and nuclear power.
