Azerbaijan vs Syria: Electricity Compared

Azerbaijan generated 27.8 TWh of electricity in 2024 and Syria 24.9 TWh, according to Ember. Gas was the largest source in both, at 88.0% in Azerbaijan and 52.3% in Syria. Each kWh generated emitted 634 gCO2/kWh in Azerbaijan and 706 gCO2/kWh in Syria. These are Ember annual statistics for 2024, compiled from national sources; they are not real time.

Ember's latest annual figures for Syria are for 2024, while Azerbaijan has figures to 2025, so this comparison uses 2024 for both.

Why this comparison: similar electricity demand on the same continent.
