Electricity Supply and TWh

Electricity supply is the total energy generated for use in homes, businesses, and industries. It is measured in terawatt-hours (TWh), with 1 TWh equaling one trillion watt-hours. Different sources—coal, gas, nuclear, and renewables—contribute to the mix, varying by region and policy.
