Electricity generation in Western Asia
Compare 2024 electricity production, renewable shares and low-carbon generation across Western Asia, with country-level grid and market references.
Electricity production by country in Western Asia
17 of 17 listed countries and territories report annual generation. Their available-country subtotal is 1,550.4 TWh in 2024. This is a sum of available observations, not an official or complete continent/region total. Country shares are shown separately; they are not averaged into a regional percentage.

Coverage, geography and assumptions
This subregion follows the existing atlas country crosswalk, not a new statistical or electrical boundary. Each country’s full national observation is counted once within this group. Russia is assigned wholly to Europe and Türkiye to Asia; production is not split spatially. A parent group overlaps its subregions, so do not add those pages’ subtotals together.
Subtotals include reported zero values but exclude missing annual generation. They are calculated directly from source TWh, never inferred from installed MW, plant counts or capacity factors. The imported dataset excludes the provider’s regional aggregates; the World chart uses the provider’s separate World series, not a sum of these pages.
Electricity production is only one part of energy production: transport fuels, heat and primary energy are not included. Generation, consumption, electricity imports and installed capacity answer different questions.
Every listed member reports generation for this year
Complete member reporting is not a claim that the atlas geographic boundary matches a provider’s regional definition.
Source snapshot: 24 April 2026; common observation year: 2024. This page derives navigation and a subtotal from the published snapshot, not live measurements or a refreshed dataset. Editorial and review scope.
