Additional information

The latter includes imports and exports of electricity. The electricity generated from pumping in hydropower plants is included in total electricity consumption but it is not included as a renewable source of energy. Large hydropower plants have a capacity of more than 10 MW. Data on production of hydro plants larger than 10 MW in Switzerland was not available from Eurostat, however several large-scale hydro plants (&gt;10MW) do exist.
