A cogeneration plant in Berlin Gas generates over 20% of world electricity Share of electricity production from gas. A gas-fired power plant, sometimes referred to as gas-fired power station, natural gas power plant, or methane gas power plant, is a thermal power station that burns natural gas to generate electricity.
Coal generates over 30% of world electricity. As of 2020 two-thirds of coal burned is to generate electricity. [12] In 2020 coal was the largest source of electricity at 34%. [27] Over half coal generation in 2020 was in China. [27] About 60% of electricity in China, India and Indonesia is from coal. [3]
Along with the other prominent values of the paper, the median value presented of 12 g CO 2-eq/kWhe for nuclear fission, found in the 2012 Yale University nuclear power review, a paper which also serves as the origin of the 2014 IPCC's nuclear value, [28] does however include the contribution of facility decommissioning with an "Added facility ...
Due to high electricity demand, and lack of local power plants, California imports more electricity than any other state, [19] (32% of its consumption in 2018 [1]) primarily wind and hydroelectric power from states in the Pacific Northwest (via Path 15 and Path 66) and nuclear, coal, and natural gas-fired production from the desert Southwest ...
Zimbabwe has 30 billion tons of coal in 21 known deposits. This could last for over 100 years at the 2001 rate of production. In September 2013, the Chinese-backed company China Africa Sunlight Energy said it would begin work in early 2014 on a 600 MW coal-fired electricity plant in western Zimbabwe, part of $2 billion of energy projects in the country.

Doubling the price of uranium would add about 10% to the cost of electricity produced in existing nuclear plants, and about half that much to the cost of electricity in future power plants. [53] The cost of raw uranium contributes about $0.0015/kWh to the cost of nuclear electricity, while in breeder reactors the uranium cost falls to $0.000015 ...
In Scotland this has resulted in payouts, [6] most recently over £6m in 33 days has been paid by the grid to wind farms to not generate electricity. Constraint payments are made to other electricity suppliers as well as wind. In 2011/2012, payments by the National Grid in the UK totaled £324 million of which £31 million went to wind.
