More with fossil energy plant than for nuclear plant, more for industrials than for families, more for baseload demand than for pick demand. Excellent statistics in USA in DOE site cost of fuel in this http://www.eia.doe.gov/cneaf/electricity/epa/epat8p2.html price of electricity in this http://www.eia.doe.gov/emeu/aer/txt/ptb0810.html % in 2002 for residential 5% for nuclear 19% for fossil fuel 38% for gas turbine and small scale (wind photovoltaic) 0% for hydroelectric with this data http://www.eia.doe.gov/cneaf/electricity/epa/epat1p1.html mean for residentiel electricity 15% |

Various assumptions are possible to get different percentages. ie depreciation of buidings, appreciation of land. If zero fuel cost is correct for hydroelectric, I think 38% is way high for wind photovoltaic. By megawatt-hours, world wide, 30% is probably a reasonable estimate, summing all sources and all customers. Perhaps 25% for the USA as our payroll costs are higher than average. Since the mean would occur in baseline hours rather than peak demand, 15% is way low using the same assuptions as 19% for fossil fuel, unless I am missing some point of logic, which is possible, even probable.
