MECS Definitions of Total Consumption of Electricity


Total Consumption of Electricity : The total amount of electricity used by manufacturing establishments, defined as :

    the sum of quantities of electricity that are :

  1. purchased;
  2. transferred in; and
  3. generated onsite from any source;
  4. minus quantities of electricity that are :

  5. sold; and
  6. transferred offsite.

    "Total Consumption of Electricity" is not the same as "Net Electricity" because "Net Electricity" specifically excludes electricity generated onsite from combustible energy sources.
