How "Energy" indicators are measured
Energy indicators come from the IEA, national energy ministries, and utility-level reporting. Conventions vary between primary energy supply, final consumption, and electricity generation, so always check the unit and what stage of the energy chain is being measured. Renewable-energy shares can swing depending on whether traditional biomass (firewood, charcoal) is counted as renewable.
