It depends entirely on the process in which the energy is extracted, which includes refinement, the efficiency of the turbine, the efficiency of the burning process and the efficiency of the heat transfer. You may be able to get this information by contacting your local power supplier however they may be slightly guarded but it would be worth a try. The rising crude oil prices are not the only cause for energy price hikes, with recently introduced emission standards/taxes a possible reason also. <br><b>References : </b><br> Unfortunately it’s not as simple as X litres of crude oil equals Y kilowatts of energy.
