Electrical energy

HS v2017 Code: 2716

About electrical energy

HS code 2716 covers the classification of electrical energy, a critical component of modern economies and societies. Electrical energy is the backbone of industrial production, transportation, communication, and household activities. It is an essential input for a wide range of economic activities, making it a vital part of the global trade landscape.

Production process

Electrical energy is primarily generated through the conversion of other forms of energy, such as fossil fuels, nuclear power, hydropower, solar, wind, and geothermal sources. The specific production techniques vary depending on the energy source, but generally involve the use of turbines, generators, and other specialized equipment to convert the primary energy into electrical energy that can be transmitted and distributed through power grids.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of electrical energy include the primary energy sources (e.g., coal, natural gas, uranium, water, wind, sunlight), as well as the necessary infrastructure and equipment, such as power plants, transmission lines, transformers, and distribution networks. Additionally, skilled labor, including engineers, technicians, and maintenance personnel, is a critical input for the industry.

Production outputs

The primary output of HS code 2716 is electrical energy, which is then consumed by a wide range of other industries and economic activities. This includes 8501 Electric motors and generators, 8502 Electric generating sets and rotary converters, 8503 Parts suitable for use solely or principally with the machines of heading 8501 or 8502, and 8504 (Electrical transformers, static converters (for example, rectifiers) and inductors).
