Countries With a Similar Electricity Mix
Ember annual, 2024The Bahamas's closest match is Guyana, 97.3% the same, and the match goes both ways, so they are grid twins.
- Guyana 97.3% the same · grid twin Guyana generates 2.7 points less other fossil than the Bahamas
- Guam 92.3% the same Guam generates 7.7 points less other fossil than the Bahamas
- Barbados 89.2% the same Barbados generates 10.8 points less other fossil than the Bahamas
- Yemen 88.5% the same Yemen generates 11.5 points less other fossil than the Bahamas
- Aruba 83.9% the same Aruba generates 16.1 points less other fossil than the Bahamas
How close: the share of generation that would have to change fuel for one mix to match the other (half the sum of the fuel share differences); 100% minus that is "the same". Grids under 1 TWh are skipped. Grid twins: the 25 closest pairs and every country's nearest match
