Mostly it is generated by generators driven by steam turbines. The steam raising for this purpose can be fuelled by coal or natural gas, or nuclear reactors.The total of these methods is about 89 percent of total electricity generation.There are some large hydro schemes where the generators are driven by water flow, these account for about 7 percent.
