Countries With a Similar Electricity Mix
Ember annual, 2025Luxembourg's closest match is Lithuania, 71.2% the same.
- Lithuania 71.2% the same Lithuania generates 15.6 points less bioenergy than Luxembourg
- Denmark 70.0% the same Denmark generates 27.0 points more wind than Luxembourg
- Uruguay 66.9% the same Uruguay generates 25.7 points less solar than Luxembourg
- Germany 66.3% the same Germany generates 21.0 points more coal than Luxembourg
- Estonia 65.6% the same Estonia generates 34.4 points more other fossil than Luxembourg
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
