In Australia there is a backbone grid. My electricity could come from a 
coal filed power station, a wind mill, a solar power plant, a battery, a 
hydro electric plant, a gas fired power plant ... and they are all 
connected together so I might get a mixture.

In short .. where the power comes from is not able to be mapped in most 
instances here.
