Electricity generation by continent and region
Compare annual electricity production across reporting countries, then follow their grid operators and electricity-market references.
Use the atlas’s geographic groups: Africa, Americas, Asia, Europe and Oceania. These are navigation groupings, not electrical systems or official provider regional aggregates. “Americas” combines North, Central and South America and the Caribbean; “North America” below is the atlas’s narrower subregion.

Africa electricity production
51 of 59 listed countries and territories report 2024 generation. The regional page names missing observations and distinguishes reported-country subtotals from complete totals.
Americas electricity production
41 of 56 listed countries and territories report 2024 generation. The regional page names missing observations and distinguishes reported-country subtotals from complete totals.
Asia electricity production
50 of 50 listed countries and territories report 2024 generation. The regional page names missing observations and distinguishes reported-country subtotals from complete totals.
Europe electricity production
41 of 53 listed countries and territories report 2024 generation. The regional page names missing observations and distinguishes reported-country subtotals from complete totals.
Oceania electricity production
14 of 27 listed countries and territories report 2024 generation. The regional page names missing observations and distinguishes reported-country subtotals from complete totals.
No Antarctic generation page is created because there are no reported annual observations in this snapshot. A missing observation is not zero generation. Atlas geographic crosswalk.
