Monthly Electricity Statistics
January 2010
The IEA's Monthly Electricity Statistics provides timely electricity production and trade data for all member countries of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD). It aims to report as up-to-date and consistent information as possible for the last four months. It also provides previous annual data and year-to-date indicators.
Data are reported at the individual country level as well as in organisational and regional groupings. These groupings include: OECD Total, OECD Europe, OECD North America, OECD Pacific and IEA Total. The units are terawatthours (TWh) for the groupings and gigawatthours (GWh) for the individual countries.
