Countries With a Similar Electricity Mix
Ember annual, 2025Israel's closest match is Malta, 95.8% the same, and the match goes both ways, so they are grid twins.
- Malta 95.8% the same · grid twin Malta generates 3.4 points less coal than Israel
- Oman 84.9% the same Oman generates 11.9 points more gas than Israel
- Uzbekistan 83.8% the same Uzbekistan generates 8.7 points less solar than Israel
- Qatar 83.6% the same Qatar generates 16.4 points more gas than Israel
- Singapore 83.5% the same Singapore generates 13.5 points less solar than Israel
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
