Countries With a Similar Electricity Mix
Ember annual, 2024Fiji's closest match is Suriname, 89.4% the same, and the match goes both ways, so they are grid twins.
- Suriname 89.4% the same · grid twin Suriname generates 9.9 points less bioenergy than Fiji
- Guinea 77.7% the same Guinea generates 22.3 points more hydro than Fiji
- Madagascar 75.7% the same Madagascar generates 20.6 points more coal than Fiji
- Honduras 74.6% the same Honduras generates 21.7 points less hydro than Fiji
- Sudan 74.1% the same Sudan generates 25.7 points more hydro than Fiji
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
