Countries With a Similar Electricity Mix

Ember annual, 2023

Martinique's closest match is Burkina Faso, 86.0% the same.

Burkina Faso 86.0% the same Burkina Faso generates 10.6 points less bioenergy than Martinique
Senegal 84.9% the same Senegal generates 14.5 points less bioenergy than Martinique
Cyprus 84.3% the same Cyprus generates 15.0 points less bioenergy than Martinique
Mauritania 83.4% the same Mauritania generates 15.9 points less bioenergy than Martinique
Barbados 81.5% the same Barbados generates 15.9 points less bioenergy than Martinique

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
