    "Figures are based on gross generation and do not account for cross-border electricity supply.",
    "Primary energy is measured using the \"substitution method\" (also called \"input-equivalent\" primary energy). This method is used for non-fossil sources of electricity (namely renewables and nuclear), and measures the amount of fossil fuels that would be required by thermal power stations to generate the same amount of non-fossil electricity.\nFor example, if a country's nuclear power generated 100 TWh of electricity, and assuming that the efficiency of a standard thermal power plant is 38%, the input-equivalent primary energy for this country would be 100 TWh / 0.38 = 263 TWh = 0.95 EJ. This input-equivalent primary energy takes account of the inefficiencies in energy production from fossil fuels and provides a better approximation of each source's share of energy consumption. You can find more details in [the Statistical Review of World Energy's methodology document](https://www.energyinst.org/__data/assets/pdf_file/0003/1055541/Methodology.pdf)."
