COUNTRY COMPARISONS / 2024

Renewable share, worldwide.

196 countries and territories with comparable data. Regional aggregates and missing values are excluded.

Renewable electricity as a share of domestic electricity generation. This is not a share of all energy use. A low renewable share alone does not imply high emissions: nuclear generation matters too.

Read the numbers, not just the ranking.

Share and scale answer different questions. A small hydroelectric system can have a very high renewable share while generating less renewable electricity than a much larger, mixed system.

Electricity is part of energy. These charts do not include all transport fuels, heating or industrial energy. Generation also differs from electricity consumed after imports, exports and losses.

The map and charts have different dates. The WRI station inventory is historical. Ember’s annual statistics describe national generation and cannot be assigned to individual markers.
