Electricity
ICE is the home of electricity pricing.
Electricity is a secondary fuel. It is derived from primary energy sources such as natural gas, coal, oil, nuclear and renewable resources like solar and wind power. Secondary fuels, including electricity are produced through the conversion of primary energy sources and are not found naturally in their usable form. Importantly the price of electricity is derived from the interaction of competing primary energy sources and where applicable their carbon intensity.
