Electricity Information
Annual data on electricity and heat supply and consumption for OECD and selected non-OECD countries
The Electricity Information data service contains time series of electricity and heat data for 38 OECD countries and 14 non-OECD countries, from 1960 to year-2 unless otherwise specified. Regional aggregates for OECD Total, OECD Americas, OECD Asia Oceania, OECD Europe, IEA Total, EU27 and EU28 are also included.
Annual statistics are available for detailed supply/demand balances, end-use consumption, electricity trade by partner country, specific autoproducer electricity and heat consumption data, as well as electricity generation capacity and capacity factors by generation type.
Monthly electricity generation data by broad category are also presented for OECD countries (excluding Israel) and selected non-OECD countries.
The data are updated twice a year: in April with complete data up to year-2 and in July with additional provisional supply data for OECD countries for the year-1.

Electricity
Worldwide efforts to address climate change is leading to the rapid electrification of numerous end-users from transport to industry, driving a massive increase in power demand as well as the need to generate as much of it as possible from renewable sources. The result is a dramatic transformation of power systems globally.
