3.3 Electricity production
table 3.3.1a Annual Electricity Production by Primary Energy (TWh)
The tables below present the annual electricity production by primary energy in the 27 EU Member
States plus Switzerland, Norway and Turkey between 1980 and 2008. Estimates for 2010, 2020 and
2030 have also been included. Electricity production is expressed in TWh.
EU-27
Data displayed in italics have not been provided by the respective national member, but have been
collected through external sources such as governmental office websites, transmission system
operators’ publications, etc. Alternatively, they may come from the EURELECTRIC Power Choices
study, in which case they are taken from the report’s Baseline scenario (which is the similar to the
Baseline 2009 as developed by the University of Athens for the European Commission).
With regards to the EU-27 table displayed immediately below, it must be noted that whereas the
aggregated figures for type of primary energy used are fairly complete, the breakdown into subtypes
(e.g. coal, oil and natural gas for fossil fuels fired, or run-of-river and pumped for hydropower)
might not always take into account all EU-27 countries. Nonetheless, the figures still provide some
good hints on the latest development of generating capacity and on expected future developments.

Note: in the above table, “multifuel” refers to the ability of a generating unit of using more than one single fuel in producing electricity (and heat).
The same applies to the tables below.
