Hydro output excludes output from pumped storage plants. Other Renewables Other renewables includes geothermal, solar, wind, tide, wave energy and the use of these energy forms for electricity generation. Unless the actual efficiency of the geothermal process is known, the quantity of geothermal energy entering electricity generation is inferred from the electricity production at geothermal plants assuming an average thermal efficiency of 10 per cent. Heat Heat shows the disposition of heat produced for sale. The large majority of the heat included in this category results from the combustion of fuels, although some small amounts are produced from electrically powered heat pumps and boilers.
Any heat extracted from ambient air by heat pumps is shown as indigenous production.
Energy Related Service Sector Definitions Electricity Electricity includes all electricity consumed in final consumption, it therefore excludes own uses and losses, etc. Note that it also excludes heat consumption. Mobility Mobility includes all energy consumed in the transport sector except electricity. Other renewables includes geothermal, solar, wind, tide, wave energy and the use of these energy forms for electricity generation. Unless the actual efficiency of the geothermal process is known, the quantity of geothermal energy entering electricity generation is inferred from the electricity production at geothermal plants assuming an average thermal efficiency of 10 per cent.
