Natural Gas fuels all of Bruneis Electricity Generation. Bruneis installed electric generating capacity in 2003 was 0.48 gigawatts (GW), all of which was natural gas-fired. Bruneis power demand is growing at a rapid rate of 7 to10 percent annually. Bruneis power plants all operate single natural gas turbines, with the exception of the Lumut cogeneration facilities and the new Belingus Power Station. Household customers account for 38 percent of electricity usage in Brunei and represent 63 percent of customers, while the government accounts for 29 percent of usage but only 6 percent of customers. The oil and gas sector and commercial customers account for 15 percent and 19 percent of electricity usage respectively.
