Electricity Mix

This is more than double the share in the total energy mix, where nuclear and renewables account for only about one-fifth. When people quote a high number for the share of low-carbon energy in the electricity mix, we need to be aware that electricity is only part of the energy equation. The share in the total energy mix is much smaller.
