Methodological note
Definition of concepts
- Pumping consumption
- Quantity of energy consumed in the pumping phase.
- Auxiliary consumption
- Own consumption of electrical energy production centres.
- Gross production of electricity
- Production of electrical energy measured in generator terminals. Includes auxiliary consumption.
- Available production of electricity
- Net production minus pumping consumption.
- Net electricity production
- Gross production minus auxiliary consumption.
Methodological aspects
The Catalan Institute for Energy (ICAEN) is the body of the Generalitat de Catalunya responsible for developing and implementing the Catalan energy policy, especially in the field of energy saving and efficiency and the development of renewable energies.
The ICAEN acts in many areas of the world of energy and, among other functions, produces the energy statistics for Catalonia.
