The supplied table compares the ratios of different sources exploited for electricity generation in several Asian nations in 2005.
What stands out from the illustration is that the five countries exhibited a considerable variation in their patterns of consumption.
In terms of nuclear power, while this fuel contributed significantly to the electricity production in South Korea and Japan, at 33 and 49% sequentially, no energy at all was generated using this source in Thailand in 2005. Meanwhile, nuclear-based energy in Malaysia and Singapore accounted for less than one-fifth. With regard to coal and lignite, the majority of electricity in Malaysia was produced by these sources, at 61%, 19% higher than Singapore. In contrast, just negligible proportions was documented in the three other countries, at under one-tenth.
Concerning petroleum products, Thailand topped with the highest percentage of 36%, in comparison to less than 5% for the remaining nations. While just nearly 20% of electricity in Thailand was produced by hyro and wind power, roughly half in South Korea was generated utilizing this source. Thailand was also the country exploiting other types of fuels the most to create energy, with its consumption being 42%. These sources constituted an equal percentage of 39% in Singapore and Japan, whereas in Malaysia and South Korea, the statistics ranged from 10% to 13%.
