Definition

Net electricity consumption in the country in the year: net generation plus imports, minus exports and transmission and distribution losses, in terawatt hours (billion kilowatt hours), as estimated by the U.S. Energy Information Administration in its International Energy Statistics.

Countries only. EIA publishes 0 for some small economies in years it has no estimate, and a few tiny negative values where losses exceed supply.
