Countries With a Similar Electricity Mix

Ember annual, 2025

Moldova's closest match is Mexico, 87.2% the same.

  1. Mexico 87.2% the same Mexico generates 6.0 points more gas than Moldova
  2. Egypt 85.6% the same Egypt generates 12.1 points more gas than Moldova
  3. Uzbekistan 85.1% the same Uzbekistan generates 8.3 points more gas than Moldova
  4. Jordan 84.8% the same Jordan generates 11.7 points less hydro than Moldova
  5. Argentina 82.2% the same Argentina generates 8.0 points less gas than Moldova

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
