Countries With a Similar Electricity Mix
Ember annual, 2025The Philippines's closest match is Kazakhstan, 87.3% the same, and the match goes both ways, so they are grid twins.
- Kazakhstan 87.3% the same · grid twin Kazakhstan generates 9.8 points more gas than the Philippines
- Indonesia 82.7% the same Indonesia generates 10.7 points more coal than the Philippines
- Serbia 78.6% the same Serbia generates 11.9 points more hydro than the Philippines
- Malaysia 76.5% the same Malaysia generates 16.2 points more gas than the Philippines
- Morocco 76.1% the same Morocco generates 14.0 points more wind than the Philippines
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
