Trade of electricity

NACE v2.1 Code: D35.15

About trade of electricity

NACE code 35.15 covers the trade of electricity, a critical component of modern economies and societies. This industry is responsible for the distribution and sale of electricity, ensuring a reliable and accessible power supply for residential, commercial, and industrial consumers. As a fundamental utility, the trade of electricity underpins the functioning of virtually every sector, making it a vital part of the broader economic landscape.

Production process

The trade of electricity involves the purchase of electricity from power generation companies, transmission system operators, and other wholesale providers, and the subsequent resale of this electricity to end-users. This process typically involves the use of extensive distribution networks, including power lines, transformers, and other infrastructure, to deliver the electricity to customers. Electricity traders may also engage in hedging and other financial activities to manage price volatility and ensure a stable supply of electricity.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the trade of electricity industry include the electricity itself, which is sourced from a variety of generation methods, such as 35.11 Electricity generation, 35.12 Transmission of electricity, and 35.13 Distribution of electricity. Additionally, this industry relies on distribution infrastructure, including power lines, substations, and other transmission equipment, as well as information technology systems for managing the trading and distribution of electricity.

Production outputs

The primary output of the trade of electricity industry is the delivery of electricity to end-users, including residential, commercial, and industrial consumers. The electricity traded in this industry may be used to power homes, businesses, and industrial facilities, supporting a wide range of economic activities. Other NACE codes that may consume the output of the trade of electricity industry include 41.10 Development of building projects, 43.21 Electrical installation, and 46.51 Wholesale of computers, computer peripheral equipment and software.
