Georgia vs Laos: Electricity Compared

Georgia generated 13.9 TWh of electricity in 2024 and Laos 52.3 TWh, according to Ember. Hydro was the largest source in both, at 79.0% in Georgia and 76.5% in Laos. Each kWh generated emitted 145 gCO2/kWh in Georgia and 232 gCO2/kWh in Laos. These are Ember annual statistics for 2024, compiled from national sources; they are not real time.

Who is bigger and who is cleaner? Laos is the bigger electricity producer, generating 3.8 times as much as Georgia in 2024 (52.3 TWh against 13.9 TWh). Georgia has the cleaner electricity by carbon intensity, at 145 gCO2/kWh against 232 gCO2/kWh in Laos in 2024.

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

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