112 NOTES
113 (1) Net transfers between the Irish Republic and Northern Ireland (ceased in 1975 and recommenced in 1996)
114 and between France and England (1961 to 1982 and from 1986).
115 (2) Losses on the public distribution system (grid system and local networks) and other differences between
116 data collected on sales and data collected on availability.
117 (3) Public administration, transport, agricultural and commercial sectors.
118 (4) Data for all generating companies are only available from 1986 onwards. Before 1986 the data are for
119 major power producers, transport undertakings and industrial hydro and nuclear stations only.
120 (5) Great Britain only until 1986 and from 2003. Prior to 1948 the figures are for financial years, and prior to 1927 the numbers are estimated.
121 From 2003 the figures are the number of Meter Point Administration numbers (MPANs); every meter point has this unique reference number
