Countries With a Similar Electricity Mix

Ember annual, 2025

Kazakhstan's closest match is the Philippines, 87.3% the same, and the match goes both ways, so they are grid twins.

  1. Philippines 87.3% the same · grid twin The Philippines generates 9.8 points less gas than Kazakhstan
  2. Malaysia 82.4% the same Malaysia generates 13.5 points less coal than Kazakhstan
  3. Serbia 78.2% the same Serbia generates 21.0 points less gas than Kazakhstan
  4. Indonesia 77.5% the same Indonesia generates 15.5 points less gas than Kazakhstan
  5. Morocco 77.5% the same Morocco generates 16.3 points less gas than Kazakhstan

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
