      I believe it would be the amount of electrical energy consumed relative to the total amount of energy consumed nationwide. I would assume that e.g. energy generated by a coal power plant would count, but the energy produced by a gas-fired water heater would not (since the burning gas is heating the water directly and the energy is never converted to electricity).
