Excludes the overseas territories. Monthly data are adjusted according to data submitted on a fiscal year basis beginning 1st of July and ending 30th of June. Monthly reporting for data prior to July 2016 does not include production from large-scale solar production, therefore it is estimated by the IEA Secretariat.

Monthly reporting did not include production from pumped hydro, mixed hydro, hydro used for pumped storage, solar thermal nor transmission and distribution losses, therefore they are estimated by the IEA Secretariat.
