PEOPLE S ELECTRICITY NEEDS*

*Assuming an average annual usage of ~ 1,000 kWh/person (Danish Energy Savings Trust) from a maximum estimated yearly energy output of 665,352 kWh. This does not accound for any transmission loss or the (albeit small) amount of energy expended to pump around water.

600+ Average Annual Insolation in Kbenhavn =

1026.78 kWh/m2

Net Pond Efficiency = 18% 1026.78 x 0.18x0.10 = 18.482 kWh/m2 per
