About This Dataset
Total Electricity Generation by Country 2024China generated 10087 TWh of electricity in 2024, roughly 2.3 times the United States at 4391 TWh and more than the next six countries combined. India is third at 2037 TWh, having passed Russia at 1209 TWh and Japan at 1016 TWh. The steep drop-off matters for every other chart on this topic: from fourth place down, no country reaches a quarter of the US total, so shares and percentages in smaller grids move easily while China and India dominate all absolute figures.
