0.03412%

Nothing on our list is smaller: a petrol car engine is 733× more efficient. Every kWh of electricity burns 2,931 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 MMBtu/MWh to %

Efficiency = 3,412.14 ÷ heat rate (BTU/kWh) = 3,600 ÷ heat rate (kJ/kWh) = 859.85 ÷ heat rate (kcal/kWh).

Example: 10,000 MMBtu/MWh = 0.0341214 %.
