Korea - Electricity production from coal sources
Electricity production from coal sources (kWh)
The value for Electricity production from coal sources (kWh) in Korea was 210,816,000,000 as of 2010. As the graph below shows, over the past 39 years this indicator reached a maximum value of 210,816,000,000 in 2010 and a minimum value of 724,000,000 in 1971.
Definition: Sources of electricity refer to the inputs used to generate electricity. Coal refers to all coal and brown coal, both primary (including hard coal and lignite-brown coal) and derived fuels (including patent fuel, coke oven coke, gas coke, coke oven gas, and blast furnace gas). Peat is also included in this category.
