Albania, Lesotho, Bhutan, Nepal, Paraguay, and the Central African Republic all reach close to 100% renewable electricity, thanks mainly to abundant hydropower. For example, Paraguay’s electricity is almost entirely generated by the Itaipú Dam, one of the largest hydropower plants in the world.
I was wrong about Iceland.
Isn`t Panama in that list?
Renewables generated 50.8% of the UK’s electricity in 2024 – the first year in which renewables have exceeded 50%.
Iceland? It’s basically all hydro and geothermal
The source „Yearly Electricity Data“ is an odd one, what does that mean? Is that generic or refering to a particular report of that name? If the latter by who?
r/mapswithoutnewzealand
meanwhile Tasmania (the island below Australia) was fully hydro from the 1920s-1970s and as of last year makes up 70% with a 10% fall from 2022
[The country where 76% of new vehicles are electric.](https://www.nytimes.com/2025/07/28/business/nepal-electric-vehicles-china.html)
It’s Nepal, only thing we are doing right in Nepal is building hydropowers and transitioning to electric vehicles at the same rate as Norway. Lol
Over 80% of Brazil’s electricity comes from hydro power.
I find it interesting and confirming that developing countries are becoming more renewable first. Skipping much of the dirty energy sources.
Also low power generation that is filled by a dam.
Hydro does tremendous dmage to the ecosystem there shouldn’t be leaf on the picture.
The Chilean brothers are missing.
In America we’re divesting in renewables and expanding coal. We’re so screwed.
It is almost impossible to generate just renewable energy for huge population clusters like china or india
90% of those countries have more important things to worry about than green energy.
Paraguay is there because we build for them the damn dam
Norway’s like the crack dealer who would never touch the stuff.
This is why renewable energy is mostly shit that works in very specific circumstances
there are a few on the brink. this map is a bit misleading imo. clearly it shows the right data but 90% is an arbitrary cutoff and it would be better to just show color as a scale, like 80% orange, 70% purple idk or smth like that.
Large regions like Quebec (hydro and wind) should be shown.
Shouldn’t Canada be on there? Isn’t it mostly hydro and nuclear?
Québec would be in yellow
Oh, this free renewable energy! For some reason, most articles shamefacedly omit the costs of installing and operating such sources and their uneven, peak-and-peak energy production.
Quebec is not a country, but we are 99% renewable.
The 1% is an isolated island who run on diesel and remote natives communities far on the north coast.
But even the remote communities in the north, there are dams and wind projects projected or in construction.
Doesn’t Norway import lots of coal-generated power from Sweden?
That’s the pissiest shade of yellow I’ve ever seen
Having visited Albania I can say a large part is because the electricity consumption per capita of that country is low af
Paraguay has Itaipu which can power their country many times over, that’s why they sell most of the energy generated to Brazil (which is a joint owner of the plant)
Fun fact: the fact that Paraguay owns 50% of the plant means that half of the turbines generate power at 50Hz, while the other half generate at 60Hz (Brazil and Paraguay use different frequencies). That means that when Paraguay inevitably sells most of its production to Brazil, a lot of very inefficient conversion has to happen, leading to loads of wasted energy
Fun times
Norway again
Now if only they could lower their suicide rate and have kids… best society on earth right there.
