Fossil Fuel Share of Electricity by Country 2024
About This Dataset
Fossil Fuel Share of Electricity by Country 2024
Share of electricity generated from all fossil fuels combined - coal, gas and oil - in 2024, as measured by Ember. Covers countries that generated at least 10 TWh of electricity in the year, so very small island grids do not dominate the ranking.
✨ AI Insight
Libya and Turkmenistan both generate essentially 100% of their electricity from fossil fuels, and every country in this top fifteen is above 95%. The list is dominated by oil and gas producers in the Middle East and North Africa, joined by Hong Kong at 99.0% and Singapore at 95.1%, two dense city grids with no room for large renewable build-out. Bangladesh at 98.1% is the most populous country here by a wide margin. Cuba at 96.0% is the only Latin American entry.
