Electricity Data Analysis
29 pages that go beyond the country tables: where growth came from, who has passed peak coal, how fast countries are cleaning up their grids, how much the weather matters, and tools to compare any two measures across every country. Most use Ember annual and monthly statistics; the daily pattern and price pages use grid operator data and keep it separate, each with its own source and date.

How the Grid Is Changing
Who added the most electricity Which countries and which fuels supplied the growth in world generation over the last 5 and 10 years. Peak coal and peak emissions Which countries have passed their peak coal generation or power sector CO2, and how far below it they are. Pace to a clean grid Each country's recent low carbon momentum, carried forward as a straight line to compare countries. Adoption curves: solar and wind How fast each country went from 1% to 20%, lined up by the year it passed 1%. Energy transition Which countries are leaving coal, and how fast solar, wind and nuclear have grown against each country's own past. Bar chart race The ranking of countries by generation, share or intensity, year by year. Year in review The biggest movers, new milestones and headline numbers of each recent year.
Comparing Countries
Country explorer Plot any two measures against each other for every country: demand per person against carbon intensity and more. Electricity mix by country Every country as a stacked bar of the fuels it generates from, sortable by any fuel. Grid twins Which countries have almost the same electricity mix, and how close the closest pairs in the world are. US electricity mix by state Every US state as a stacked bar of the fuels it generates from, sortable by fuel. US state records The cleanest and most coal reliant states, the biggest generators and the fastest solar growth. US coal power by state Which states have passed peak coal generation and how far below the peak they are. Records and rankings The highest share of each fuel, the cleanest and dirtiest grids, the biggest generators and the fastest growth. Electricity by continent Each continent's generation mix, ranking and a map of its countries. Electricity trade The biggest net importers and exporters, and how much of each country's grid depends on trade. Capacity and utilisation Installed capacity by fuel and how hard each fleet is worked.
Weather, Seasons and the Clock
Weather exposure Whose hydro, wind and solar output swings most from year to year, and the dry and low wind years. Summer and winter peaks Which countries use the most electricity in summer for cooling and which in winter for heating. What households pay Retail electricity prices for households and businesses across Europe, with and without taxes, from Eurostat. Electricity prices by year Annual average day ahead prices for each European zone since 2015, and the zones that peaked in 2022. When electricity is cheapest The cheapest and dearest hour of the day in each European zone, and the daily price spread. Price gaps between neighbours How far apart day ahead prices are between neighbouring European zones. Solar and midday prices Which zones see the biggest midday price dip against the evening peak. Daily load shapes The 24 hour demand pattern of each grid, including California's duck curve. Wind, solar and prices How European day ahead prices differ on the windiest and calmest days. Forecast accuracy How closely each operator's day ahead demand forecast matched what happened. Cross border flows Net electricity flows between European bidding zones over the latest 30 days. World electricity counters Generation and power sector CO2 ticking along, estimated from the latest annual rate.
