Monthly Electricity Statistics

October 2006

The IEA's Monthly Electricity Statistics provides timely electricity production and trade data for all OECD Member Countries. 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 is 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 TWh for the groupings and GWh for the single countries.

Highlights

October 2006 vs. October 2005

Total OECD production reached 792.2 TWh, an increase of 0.3% or 2.4 TWh over the same month last year.

-Combustible Fuels grew by 1.0%, increasing by 10.4% in OECD Pacific while decreasing by 0.5% in OECD North America and by 1.6% in OECD Europe.

-Nuclear production decreased by 2.2% for the OECD as a whole.
