Site energy is what your utility meter would read -- it is the energy
used on the site.
Source energy takes into account energy loss for production and
transmission -- so it is the raw energy entering the power plant. Your
site to source conversion for electricity depends on your electrical
generation source. Recall that most thermal electric generating
stations are ~33% efficient ("Carnot efficient"?) in terms of
electricity out over fuel in.
