Countries With a Similar Electricity Mix
Ember annual, 2025Kosovo's closest match is Mongolia, 91.9% the same, and the match goes both ways, so they are grid twins.
- Mongolia 91.9% the same · grid twin Mongolia generates 5.9 points more other fossil than Kosovo
- Botswana 89.6% the same Botswana generates 9.0 points more coal than Kosovo
- South Africa 87.1% the same South Africa generates 7.9 points less coal than Kosovo
- India 80.2% the same India generates 18.4 points less coal than Kosovo
- Indonesia 73.8% the same Indonesia generates 19.9 points less coal than Kosovo
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
