Country Electricity Comparisons

337 side by side comparisons of 111 countries' electricity generation, fuel mix, demand per person and carbon intensity, from Ember's annual statistics. 268 of them use 2025; the rest use the latest earlier year with figures for both countries.

Countries are paired when both are among the 20 largest electricity users, when they share a border or an interconnector, or when their demand is similar on the same continent. A pair is published only when the figures show at least two clear differences, which left out 83 pairs.
