What sources make up our electricity mix? How much comes from coal, oil, and gas, and how much from nuclear, hydropower, solar, or wind? In the interactive charts shown here, we see the breakdown of the electricity mix by source. The stacked area chart shows electricity production in absolute terms, allowing you to. .
The chart below shows the percentage of global electricity production that comes from nuclear or renewable energy, such as solar, wind, hydropower, wind and tidal, and some biomass. Globally, more than a third of our electricity. .
Carbon intensity of electricity measures the amount of CO2 produced per unit of electricity. It is measured as the grams of CO2 produced per kilowatt.
[pdf] is a heavy producer of because of . Over 99% of the electricity production in mainland Norway is from 31 GW hydropower plants (86 TWh reservoir capacity, storing water from summer to winter). The average hydropower is 133 TWh/year (135.3 TWh in 2007). There is also a large potential in , and , as well as p.
[pdf] Solar power in Myanmar has the potential to generate 51,973.8 TWh/year, with an average of over 5 sun hours per day. Even though most electricity is produced from hydropower in Myanmar, the country has rich technical solar power potential that is the highest in the ; however, in terms of installed capacity Myanmar lags largely behind Thailand and Vietnam.
