According to the source, the data are based on gross primary hydroelectric generation and not accounting for cross-border electricity supply. They were converted on the basis of thermal equivalence assuming 38 percent conversion efficiency in a modern thermal power station.
The values prior to 2008 were taken from previous publications. - Open this statistic in...
