World Statistics

Electricity

Electric power separately from energy as a whole: how much electricity a country generates and consumes, what generation is made of — coal, gas, oil, nuclear, hydro, wind, solar — how much electricity falls on each resident, what a country buys from its neighbors and how much carbon dioxide a kilowatt-hour carries. The shares of sources come from the World Bank; absolute volumes, solar and wind separately, and emissions come from Ember. Access to electricity sits here as well.
