Countries With a Similar Electricity Mix
Ember annual, 2024Turkmenistan's closest match is Bahrain, 99.8% the same, and the match goes both ways, so they are grid twins.
- Bahrain 99.8% the same · grid twin Bahrain generates 0.3 points more solar than Turkmenistan
- Trinidad and Tobago 99.5% the same Trinidad and Tobago generates 0.5 points less gas than Turkmenistan
- Algeria 98.6% the same Algeria generates 1.4 points less gas than Turkmenistan
- Qatar 96.0% the same Qatar generates 4.0 points less gas than Turkmenistan
- Tunisia 94.7% the same Tunisia generates 5.3 points less gas than Turkmenistan
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
