Moldova vs Ukraine: Electricity Compared

Moldova generated 5.33 TWh of electricity in 2022 and Ukraine 112 TWh, according to Ember. Moldova's largest source was gas (86.9%); Ukraine's was nuclear (55.8%). Each kWh generated emitted 645 gCO2/kWh in Moldova and 251 gCO2/kWh in Ukraine. These are Ember annual statistics for 2022, compiled from national sources; they are not real time.

Who is bigger and who is cleaner? Ukraine is the bigger electricity producer, generating 20.9 times as much as Moldova in 2022 (112 TWh against 5.33 TWh). Ukraine has the cleaner electricity by carbon intensity, at 251 gCO2/kWh against 645 gCO2/kWh in Moldova in 2022.

Ember's latest annual figures for Ukraine are for 2022, while Moldova has figures to 2025, so this comparison uses 2022 for both.
