Base power is dependent on energy from fossil fuels such as coal, oil, and natural gas (as well as peat, which is covered separately).

Kiravia holds significant deposits of coal, both on the Kiravian mainland and in the overseas provinces and possessions. Historically, the Eastern Highlands coal veins were the most economically important, fuelling the Kiravian industrial revolution and the growth of modern cities such as [[Valēka]], [[Eriadun]], [[Primóra]], and [[Saar-Raverdan]] along the eastern seaboard's {{wp|fall line}}. Coal powered (and in large part, continues to power) the nation's railways, and the need to transport coal across long inland distances was the driving force behind the growth of the nation's rail network. At XY.ZZ% of production, coal remains a critically important energy source for Kiravia, despite losing significant ground to oil, gas, and nuclear energy. Most coal imports to Great Kirav come from [[Faneria]] and from the Colonies.

Inexpensive {{wp|East_Asian_coal_briquettes|cylindrical coal briquettes}} are widely used as cooking fuel by households and commercial kitchens, particularly for simmering and boiling, which are the most common cooking techniques in [[Kiravian cuisine]]. In Second and Third Kirav, many households also rely upon briquettes (either coal, peat, biomass, or a combination thereof) for heating, as many houses and apartments date from the Kirosocialist period or before, and were built without gas lines. Consumer-ready briquettes are less common in First Kirav, where oil and gas heaters are more common, however, they see periodic revival when fuel prices run high, and remain a staple for low-income households due to their low price.

Kiravia has 70 operating nuclear reactors that generate just over 20% of the nation's electricity, making them the nation's largest non-conventional energy source.

Nuclear research was a high priority for both the [[Kiravian Union]] and [[Kiravian Remnant]], but was of special importance to the Kiravian Union which, commercially isolated and in grave need of energy to fuel its state-driven economic development plans, invested very heavily in civil nuclear research and the construction of scores of nuclear power stations across its territory.

Nuclear research and development has continued and intensified since reunification under the sponsorship of the [[Kiravian Energy Executive]] as a means to increase price stability and reduce import dependency. After a pause in new construction during the 1980s-1990s during which many existing plants were privatised, the installation and commissioning of new nuclear plants picked up again during the later 2000s thro' 2010s AD. More recent plants have moved away from the traditionally dominant Æ2VD series of light water reactors employed extensively by the Kiravian Union, and toward the KDU series of {{wp|pressurised heavy water reactors}}.
