Of the economies in the World Bank's latest release, Denmark has the highest electricity production from renewable sources, excluding hydroelectric (% of total) (78.91% in 2021) and Equatorial Guinea the lowest (-23.77% in 2021). The world figure is 12.42% (2021).
What this measures
The share of electricity production from renewable sources of total electricity production. Electricity production from renewable sources, excluding hydroelectric, includes geothermal, solar, tides, wind, biomass, and biofuels.
Limitations: IEA occasionally revises its time series to reflect political changes. For example, the IEA has constructed historical energy statistics for countries of the former Soviet Union. In addition, energy statistics for other countries have undergone continuous changes in coverage or methodology in recent years as more detailed energy accounts have become available. Breaks in series are therefore unavoidable.
Each country's latest available year is shown; countries report on different schedules, so compare years before comparing values.
