EU electricity mix

  • Primary energy consumption (including upstream) for a unit of gross electric energy production : see [JRC Biofuels 2011] p. 37 (and following pages for emission factors).
  • Other parameters (successive losses) can be found in [JRC Biofuels 2011] :
    • Loss between gross and net electric energy production p. 39 (4%).
    • Pumping in hydro-electric schemes p. 40 (1.4%).
    • Transmission losses in High Voltage system p. 41 (1.5%).
    • Losses for Medium Voltage distribution p. 41 (4%).
    • Losses for Low Voltage distribution p. 41 (6%).
