5
Compiled based on actual quarterly sales data, which is also presented in Table 1.
This also includes estimates of solar PV demand (based on capacity data from the Electricity
Authority) for 2013 onwards. Solar PV use by the industrial sector is included in "Other Minor
Sectors".
6
Compiled based on estimated quarterly sales data. Estimated sales data is calculated by using
quarterly grid exit point (GXP) demand data from the Electricity Authority to allocate March year
electricity sales data to quarters.
This also includes estimates of solar PV demand (based on capacity data from the Electricity
Authority) for 2013 onwards. Solar PV use by the industrial sector is included in "Other Minor

Notes
1
Electricity used by the generator for auxilliary services (e.g. lighting, coal grinders) and internal losses
2
Currently only accounts for distributed Solar PV generation calculated using capacity data from the Electricity Authority.
3
Loss information is obtained through electricity disclosures by Transpower and the distribution companies.
4
Statistical differences exist between supply and demand figures as the information comes from different sources
6 Demand numbers in this table are based on data calculated with estimated sales. For more information see footnote 6 in Table 2.
5
Calculated estimate based on the difference between net production and electricity entering the system. This includes on-site generation not exported into the network.
Note in 2011 and 2012 an improved estimate has been made from a mix of data sources (net generation, Electricity Authority GXP generation, and annual onsite generation).
For the energy balance tables, this figure is added to the Industrial Unallocated sector.
7
Total amount of electricity entering the local and national transmission and distribution networks. Includes embedded generation.
8
Loss ratio calculated as the transmission and distribution losses divide by the total electricity entering the system.

Notes
1
All capacities are net of any plant decommissioning. Small scale distributed generation such as solar PV is not included in total operational capacity.
2
'Other Thermal' in this instance includes generation by all major coal only (Meremere), fuel oil only (Marsden A and B), and gas/fuel oil plants (New Plymouth).
3
Plants that run solely on natural gas are listed under 'gas'. Multi fuelled plants that run partly on natural gas are listed under 'other'.
4
Includes cogeneration by some multi fuel or single fuel biomass, coal, liquid fuel and geothermal plants. It also includes multi fuelled plants running partly on natural gas.

Revision note
The Ministry reviewed its classification of energy use (covering both end-use and use for cogeneration) in the
wood, pulp, and paper sectors to ensure its alignment with the International Energy Agency’s reporting
framework. This resulted in the discovery that black liquor use should be classified as cogeneration use rather
than end-use as it feeds into cogeneration systems as pulp mills.
