Yearly Electricity Data (Ember)

An independent energy think tank that brings the world's electricity statistics into one comparable database: generation by source, demand, installed capacity, net imports, power sector emissions and the carbon intensity of a kilowatt-hour for 214 territories from 2000 onward. The underlying data are taken from grid operators and national statistical offices — ENTSO-E, the EIA, Eurostat, national agencies — then brought to common definitions and updated more often than annual yearbooks: a preliminary estimate for the year just ended appears as early as spring.
