8.598%
Nothing on our list is smaller: a petrol car engine is 2.9× more efficient. Every kWh of electricity burns 11.63 kWh of fuel.
What it means
How efficient is that?
On the fuel’s heating value as given (HHV in the US, usually LHV in Europe); the same plant is about 10 % “more efficient” on LHV for natural gas.
The math
How to convert kcal/kWh to %
Efficiency = 3,412.14 ÷ heat rate (BTU/kWh) = 3,600 ÷ heat rate (kJ/kWh) = 859.85 ÷ heat rate (kcal/kWh).
Example: 10,000 kcal/kWh = 8.59845 %.
