Summary: |
This report gives the result of a life cycle analysis (LCA) for the supply of 1 MWh of electricity from the Australian electricity grids for FY2004. At this time, the grids had a generation capacity of ~50,890MW. In this period, 205,153 GWh was sent out from Australian power stations at capacity factor of 46.0%. This report is part of a series of LCA studies of the Australian State grids, which are being undertaken for comparison with the benchmark data sets generated for the same systems in 2001. However, the analysis of all of the electricity grids combined has not been done prior. THis report will therefore provide a benchmark for any similar future study. |
