About: Countries by Renewable Energy Share 2025
Overview of the data behind this chart
Countries ranked by the percentage of total electricity generation derived from renewable sources in 2025, including hydropower, wind, solar, geothermal, and biomass, according to IEA and IRENA data. Iceland and Costa Rica lead the world in renewable electricity share by a considerable margin — Iceland draws on an extraordinary natural endowment of geothermal energy and glacial rivers that allows it to generate virtually all of its electricity without combustion of any kind, while Costa Rica has sustained near-total renewable electricity generation for over a decade by combining hydropower, geothermal, wind, and solar in a balanced portfolio that has become a benchmark for energy transition policy in developing nations.
