Renewable Electricity by Country (% of Total Electricity Output)

Renewable electricity output measures the share of electricity generated from renewable sources, expressed as a percentage of total electricity output. Renewable sources include hydropower, wind, solar, geothermal, and biomass. A higher share typically reflects a cleaner electricity mix and greater reliance on sources that are replenished naturally. The dataset covers 204 countries and territories with values from 2016 to 2021, the most recent years available.

Countries With the Highest Share of Renewable Electricity in 2021

Bhutan generated 100 percent of its electricity from renewable sources in 2021, the highest share recorded in the dataset. Lesotho ranked second with 99.8 percent, followed by Costa Rica (99.4 percent) and Norway (99.1 percent). The Central African Republic (96.5 percent), El Salvador (95.6 percent), Namibia (93.4 percent), Tajikistan (93.4 percent), Andorra (93.3 percent), and Belize (92.9 percent) complete the top ten.

Methodology

The statistics are based on the World Bank World Development Indicators dataset, indicator EG.ELC.RNEW.ZS (Renewable electricity output, percent of total electricity output). The main comparison uses 2021 data, the most recent year available, covering 202 of the 204 countries and territories in our dataset. Earlier years are not substituted for missing 2021 values in the ranking. Values represent renewable electricity output as a share of total electricity output, expressed as a percentage. Missing observations are treated as missing, not as zero.
