CPC v2.1 Code: 17
About electricity, town gas, steam and hot water
cpc code 17 covers the production and distribution of electricity, town gas, steam, and hot water. This industry is a critical component of modern infrastructure, providing essential utilities that power homes, businesses, and industrial operations. As a foundational sector, the electricity, gas, and steam industry plays a vital role in supporting economic growth and development across a wide range of industries.
Production process
The main production techniques in this industry involve the generation of electricity, gas, steam, and hot water through various methods. This can include the use of fossil fuels, nuclear power, renewable sources like hydroelectric, wind, and solar, as well as the extraction and processing of natural gas. The generated utilities are then distributed through extensive transmission and distribution networks to end-users.
Production inputs
The key inputs required for this industry include fuel sources such as coal, natural gas, and uranium, as well as water for cooling and steam generation. Specialized equipment like turbines, generators, and pipelines are also essential for the production and distribution of these utilities. Additionally, this industry relies on a skilled workforce of engineers, technicians, and operators to manage the complex systems involved.
Production outputs
The primary outputs of this industry are electricity, town gas, steam, and hot water. These utilities are then consumed by a wide range of other industries, including 01 Agriculture, forestry and fishing, 05 Mining and quarrying, 10-33 Manufacturing, 35 Electricity, gas, steam and air conditioning supply, 36-39 Water supply; sewerage, waste management and remediation activities, and 41-43 Construction, as well as residential and commercial end-users.
