261 Electricity Generation
This group contains the following ANZSIC classes:
2611 Fossil Fuel Electricity Generation
This class consists of units mainly engaged in the generation of electricity using mineral or fossil fuels (e.g. coal or coal derived products, mineral gases, mineral oil or mineral oil derived products) in internal combustion or combustion-turbine conventional steam processes.
Primary activities
- Electricity generation using coal or coal derived products
- Electricity generation using mineral gas including coal gas
- Electricity generation using mineral oil or mineral oil derived products
- Electricity generation using other mineral fuels
Exclusions/References
Units mainly engaged in electricity generation using biomass gaseous products such as methane generated from waste products/vegetation are included in Class 2619 Other Electricity Generation.
2612 Hydro-Electricity Generation
This class consists of units mainly engaged in the generation of electricity using hydro-electric generation processes. Units that use pumped hydro storage generation processes are included.
Primary activities
- Hydro-electricity generation
Exclusions/References
Units mainly engaged in electricity generation using tidal generation processes are included in Class 2619 Other Electricity Generation.
2619 Other Electricity Generation
This class consists of units mainly engaged in the generation of electricity using wind, solar, tidal, biomass not elsewhere classified and other methods of electricity generation not elsewhere classified.
Primary activities
- Biomass electricity generation n.e.c.
- Electricity generation n.e.c.
- Geothermal electricity generation
