Figures refer to gross generation and do not account for cross-border electricity supply. According to the source, the data was converted on the basis of thermal equivalence: the amount of fuel required by thermal power stations to produce the indicated electricity output.
This statistic was compiled using several releases of the publication.
The report was previously published by BP.
