Primary Energy Supply

Primary energy supply represents all energy available for use in a country: domestic production plus imports minus exports. Values below come from the latest available year in the Energy Institute's Statistical Review of World Energy. Note that electricity is not considered part of primary energy supply, but it does include the primary energy used for electricity generation.
