About electrical energy

cpc code 17100 covers the industry of electrical energy production and distribution. This is a critical sector that powers the modern economy, enabling the functioning of businesses, households, and infrastructure across a wide range of industries. Electrical energy is generated from various sources, including fossil fuels, nuclear power, and renewable sources like solar, wind, and hydroelectric. The efficient and reliable supply of electrical energy is essential for economic growth and development.

Production process

The main production techniques in the electrical energy industry involve the conversion of primary energy sources into electrical energy. This typically involves the use of turbines, generators, and other specialized equipment to transform the energy from sources like coal, natural gas, nuclear fission, or renewable sources into electricity. The generated electricity is then transmitted and distributed through a complex network of power lines, transformers, and substations to end-users.

Production inputs

The key inputs required for the electrical energy industry include fuel sources (such as 05000 Coal, 06000 Oil and gas, and 07000 Nuclear fuels), as well as capital equipment like turbines, generators, and transmission infrastructure. Additionally, the industry relies on a skilled workforce, including engineers, technicians, and operators, to manage the production and distribution processes.

Production outputs

The primary output of the electrical energy industry is, of course, electrical energy itself. This output is then consumed by a wide range of other industries and sectors, including 25000 Manufacturing, 35000 Construction, 45000 Wholesale and retail trade, and 55000 Accommodation and food service activities, as well as residential and commercial end-users.
