ELECTRICITY, GAS, STEAM AND AIR CONDITIONING SUPPLY
NACE v2.1 Code: D
About electricity, gas, steam and air conditioning supply
NACE code D, 'ELECTRICITY, GAS, STEAM AND AIR CONDITIONING SUPPLY,' encompasses a critical industry that plays a vital role in powering economies and supporting modern life. This sector is responsible for the generation, transmission, and distribution of electricity, as well as the production and supply of natural gas, steam, and air conditioning. As a fundamental component of infrastructure, the activities within this NACE code are essential for the functioning of businesses, households, and the broader economy.
Production process
The main production techniques used in this industry involve the generation of electricity through various means, such as thermal power plants, hydroelectric dams, nuclear reactors, and renewable sources like solar, wind, and geothermal energy. The generated electricity is then transmitted through high-voltage power lines and distributed to end-users via local distribution networks. Similarly, natural gas is extracted, processed, and transported through pipelines to be distributed for heating, cooking, and industrial purposes. The production of steam and air conditioning often involves the use of boilers, chillers, and other specialized equipment to meet the thermal and cooling needs of buildings and industrial facilities.
Production inputs
The key inputs required for the activities within NACE code D include various energy sources, such as fossil fuels (coal, natural gas, and oil), nuclear fuel, and renewable energy sources (e.g., solar, wind, hydropower). Additionally, this industry relies on specialized equipment, such as turbines, generators, transformers, and distribution infrastructure, as well as skilled labor in engineering, operations, and maintenance roles.
Production outputs
The main outputs of the ELECTRICITY, GAS, STEAM AND AIR CONDITIONING SUPPLY industry (NACE code D) are electricity, natural gas, steam, and air conditioning. These outputs are then consumed by a wide range of other industries, including C MANUFACTURING, F CONSTRUCTION, G WHOLESALE AND RETAIL TRADE; REPAIR OF MOTOR VEHICLES AND MOTORCYCLES, and H TRANSPORTATION AND STORAGE, as well as by households for residential and commercial use.
