Glossary

Electricity production corresponds to gross production. It includes the public production (production of private and public electricity utilities) and the autoproducers, by any type of power plants (including cogeneration).

Electricity corresponds to the electricity produced and transported for commercial purposes, used by ad-hoc devices.

Electricity production



World power generation reduced by 1.2% in 2009

. A substantial cut in electricity generation in OECD countries was balanced by relatively high growth rates in both Asian developing countries and the Middle East.

OECD production, representing 51% of the world's power production

, decreased severely by 4.3%.

Japan posted

the more impressive reduction (-7.2%) as the fall in thermal consumption compensated the rise in nuclear generation. Drop also reached a high pace in North America, Europe and CIS(4-5% pace). These trends were contrasted by a dynamic power production in Asian countries.

In China (18% of the total), electricity generation

developed even more rapidly than the previous year (6.3%). In the Middle East, the electricity generation grew to a smaller extend but remained among higher rates (3.5% for the region).
