1 Gwh of electricity:
- Uses approximately 250 tons of oil in an oil-fired conventional steam power plant.
- Uses approximately 390-400 tons of coal in a steam coal-fired power plant.
- Uses approximately 8,000 MCF of NG in a combined-cycle power plant.
NOTES
- Tons or tonnes = metric tons
- BTU = British Thermal Unit
- MMBTU = million BTU
- Joule = a unit of energy (1 joule = 0.239 calories)
- Petajoules = 1015 joules
- NG = natural gas
- LNG = liquefied natural gas
- MCF = 1,000 cubic feet
- MMCFD = million cubic feet per day
- BCM = billion cubic meters
- kWh = kilowatt hour
- Gwh = gigawatt hour (1 Gwh = 1,000,000 kWh)
