It has nothing to do with the petroleum industry. It's the total amount of GHG produced to deliver electricity to the end user within the grid (expressed as equivalent carbon units, gCO₂eq/kWh). It would include the GHG emissions associated with extracting the fuel source (e: it does not include extraction, my bad).
