Energy in Arcerion
Arcerion has considerable sources of oil and natural gas in the Northern portions of the Albion Sea and is ranked as one of the largest net exporters of natural gas and crude oil in the 21st Century, and is in the top three in Crona. Arcerion is energy self-sufficient based on its reserves of crude oil, natural gas, and coal mined from the Aileach Mountain Range. With gas resources expected to decline in usage as well as available stock, the Confederate Parliament has sought to invest in renewable and long-term energy investments such as nuclear energy.
Arcerion has been traditionally dominated in the energy sector by coal-fired powerplants due to the abundance of coal in the Aileach Mountains. However it still remains as one of the main components for fueling the energy production centers for the Arcer Power Grid. Coal amounts to 52% of energy and electricity production in Arcerion, followed by nuclear at 24% and natural gas at 19%. Solar, wind and renewable/'green' energy sources make up the remaining %5 of Arcerion's electricity production.

Include chart of% use by type and year, gradual shift to nuclear and wind
Energy Sources
Coal
Easthampton and Aileach Mountains, arco major coal users
Oil
Howland Governorate
Natural Gas
Howland Governorate
Solar
Limited but its getting there
Electricity
Wind Power in Arcerion
Northlea dominant, Foxhey super dependent on it
Hydroelectric Power
River systems and hydroelectric dams, will need a map overviewing major energy locations
Nuclear Power and Nuclear Energy in Arcerion
Reactors in Norham and Moorden, plans for 2 additional, one in Easthampton and one in Presdale
Easthampton one will sell power to Washakara
Consumption
Percentage over time (have a graph showing consumption and then needs provided by renewable/nuclear v. fossil fuels)

chester has natural coal plant
kurst has coal plant being downsized
Producers and Companies
No national control but national standards and regulations (power grid redundancy and safety)
Transmission
Undersea power lines to Foxhey? Maybe?
Municipal and Governorates
Some non-federal plants but mostly centralized by Confederate control
