Electricity generated in the year minus the electricity used by the power plants themselves, in terawatt hours (billion kilowatt hours), from the U.S. Energy Information Administration: for countries, its International Energy Statistics; for U.S. states, its survey of utility-scale power plants of 1 megawatt or more (Form EIA-923).
Average retail price of electricity sold to commercial customers (shops, offices, schools, hospitals and other service buildings) in the year, in US cents per kilowatt hour: utility revenue divided by kilowatt hours sold, as reported to the U.S. Energy Information Administration.
Average retail price of electricity sold to industrial customers (manufacturing, mining and other large users) in the year, in US cents per kilowatt hour: utility revenue divided by kilowatt hours sold, as reported to the U.S. Energy Information Administration.
Net electricity generated from solar energy in the year, in terawatt hours: utility-scale photovoltaic and solar thermal plants of 1 megawatt or more, plus the U.S. Energy Information Administration's estimate of small-scale photovoltaic systems such as rooftop panels.
