The table illustrates the amount of four types of fuel that were used for electricity generation in five Asian countries.
Overall, it can clearly be seen that the five countries had their patterns of electricity consumption. Starting with nuclear power, Japan consumed the highest percentage at 49%, with South Korea in second place at 33%. In contrast, Thailand used no nuclear power. Malaysia and Singapore held the highest positions in coal and lignite consumption (61% and 42% respectively) among the other three countries.
Regarding petroleum products, Thailand generated 36% of its electricity from this source. In terms of hydroelectric and wind power, South Korea showed a percentage of nearly half of its electricity at 48%, which was twice as high as Thailand’s second-highest level of 19%. Finally, a significant amount was produced from other sources in three countries (Singapore, Thailand, and Japan), consuming around 40% of their electricity. In fact, there were major differences in the fuels that countries used to generate their electricity.
