Electricity Generation by Country

Electricity generation by country measures the total amount of electricity generated in each country, in billion kilowatt-hours (BkWh) per year. It includes generation from all sources, including fossil fuels, nuclear power and renewables. The statistics are based on the U.S. Energy Information Administration's (EIA) International Energy Statistics. The table covers 215 countries, with 211 reported 2024 values, and includes data from 2019 to 2024. The world total stood at 30,664.34 BkWh in 2024, up from 29,523.79 BkWh in 2023.

Electricity Generation by Country Map

China (10,161.50 BkWh) generated about one-third of the world's electricity in 2024, producing about 2.3 times as much as the United States (4,392.55 BkWh). India (2,051.78 BkWh), Russia (1,160.22 BkWh) and Japan (907.01 BkWh) completed the top five. Empty means no reported value, not zero.

China accounted for about 33.1% of the world total in 2024. The top two together held about 47.5%, the top three about 54.2%, the top five about 60.9%, and the top ten about 70.5%.

Change from 2023 to 2024

China recorded the largest increase in absolute terms, rising from 9,483.20 to 10,161.50 BkWh (+678.30 BkWh, about 7.2%). The world total rose from 29,523.79 to 30,664.34 BkWh (+1,140.55 BkWh, about 3.9%), so China alone accounted for about 59% of the world increase. Japan recorded the largest absolute decline, falling from 958.28 to 907.01 BkWh (-51.26 BkWh, about 5.3%).

How generation changed across major producers

Four of the top five increased their generation: China (+7.2%), India (+3.5%), the United States (+3.2%) and Russia (+0.1%), while Japan declined by 5.3%. Among the next five largest producers, France recorded the fastest growth (+7.7%), followed by Brazil (+5.1%). Canada (-2.0%), South Korea (-1.0%) and Germany (-0.8%) also declined.

2019 to 2024 in this series

Reported world values were 26,490.22 BkWh in 2019, 26,479.43 BkWh in 2020, 27,841.54 BkWh in 2021, 28,466.91 BkWh in 2022, 29,523.79 BkWh in 2023 and 30,664.34 BkWh in 2024. Generation ended about 15.8% above the 2019 level. After remaining essentially flat in 2020, the world total increased in each of the following four years.

Electricity generation in context

The 2024 total includes electricity generated from fossil fuels, nuclear power, hydropower, wind, solar and other sources. Fossil fuels accounted for 18,024.02 BkWh, or about 58.8% of the world total. Generation is not the same as electricity consumption: international electricity trade and transmission losses can cause the amount generated in a country to differ from the amount consumed.

Methodology

The statistics are based on the U.S. Energy Information Administration's (EIA) International Energy Statistics. Values represent annual total electricity generation in billion kilowatt-hours (BkWh). Where no value is available, the cell is left empty. A value of 0 indicates that the source reports zero. The sum of the countries listed on this page may not equal the reported world total because the country-level data presented here do not necessarily represent the complete set of values used for the world total. This page covers total electricity generation from all sources; generation by individual sources such as coal, natural gas, nuclear, hydro, wind and solar is reported separately in the source.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which countries generate the most electricity?

China (10,161.50 BkWh) and the United States (4,392.55 BkWh) reported the largest 2024 values, followed by India (2,051.78 BkWh), Russia (1,160.22 BkWh) and Japan (907.01 BkWh).

How much did world electricity generation increase in 2024?

The world total rose from 29,523.79 to 30,664.34 BkWh, an increase of 1,140.55 BkWh or about 3.9%. China accounted for about 59% of the increase.

How much of world electricity generation comes from fossil fuels?

Fossil fuels generated 18,024.02 BkWh in 2024, about 58.8% of the 30,664.34 BkWh world total. Nuclear, hydropower, wind, solar and other sources supplied the remainder.

Is electricity generation the same as consumption?

No. Generation measures electricity produced, while consumption measures electricity used. International trade and transmission losses can cause the two figures to differ for a country.
