Description
The share of imports is determined using the e-Control operating statistics. Specific emission factors for imported electricity are calculated for the individual importing countries using GEMIS Austria 5.1. The calculation of emissions from electricity is based on the "Finnish method" for CHP plants and district heating factors, taking into account electricity imports from neighbouring countries. The grid losses in the electricity grid were assumed to be a conservative 6% in the calculation. APG (Austrian Power Grid) specifies grid losses of 1% to 7% depending on the transmission level.
