This report was previously published by BP.
Figures are based on gross generation and do not account for cross-border electricity supply. ’Input-equivalent’ energy is the amount of fuel that would be required by thermal power stations to generate the reported electricity output.
Figures refer to EU-27. Previous figures for EU-28 have been restated by the source.
Details on thermal efficiency assumptions are available in the appendices and definitions page and here.
