Weekly Coal  Burn Report SampleReport Description

Genscape calculates coal and lignite consumption at power plants in western Europe based on direct observations of power plant performance. The coal burn calculation is plant specific and takes capacity utilization rates into account. The calculation factors to deduce consumption from burn are based on plant engineering data and official annual figures.

The coal and lignite plants monitored by Genscape represent about half the installed coal-fired capacity in Germany, France, the Netherlands and Belgium. Total monthly consumption at those plants correlates closely to monthly national consumption statistics published by the German and French governments. This monthly data, published by the Bundesamt für Wirtschaft for Germany, and the Minstère de l’Industrie for France is also used in a multiple regression calculation to estimate total coal consumption for Germany and France. Generation by fuel at plants monitored by Genscape, and weather data for large cities in Germany and France are also used in the regression calculation. The report also includes coal consumption at all coal-fired units in the United Kingdom, which is derived from real-time generation data.
