Science - Environment & Ecology /
Japanese term or phrase: 端効率
This particular term appears as 発電端効率 and 使用端効率.

Here is how the term appears in context:
1. 発電端効率: 2011年に発生した東日本大震災以前の電源構成(2008年から2010年の平均)では,発電時CO2排出量(発電時のライフサイクルを包含,発電端効率)が推計445 g-CO2/kWhとなった.
2. 使用端効率: 電気事業連合会「電気事業における環境行動計画」によると,2030年度の目標CO2排出量(発電燃料燃焼分(直接分),使用端効率)が370 g-CO2/kWhと設定されている.

I am having a hard time figuring out the 端 part, and have ignored it in my tentative translations of "generation efficiency" and "usage efficiency".

Does anyone know whether these are correct interpretations?

Explanation:
発電端効率と使用端効率は、それぞれgross thermal efficiency と net thermal efficiency と思います。

発電端効率/送電端効率
〔gross thermal efficiency/net thermal efficiency〕: 発電所効率には、発電端効率と送電端効率があり、発電端効率は発電機端子で計測した電力量を用い、送電端効率は発電機端子で計測した電力量から所内電力(発電に必要な全補機動力)を差し引いた電力量を用いる。

"end" would refer to just the 端.
