This site keeps your choice on this device, in your browser's local storage (it is not a cookie), so it does not ask again. It also keeps a small cache of its own files so pages load faster.
This site uses Google Analytics 4 to count visits. Before you choose, and if you choose "Accept required", Google Analytics receives an anonymous signal for each page you open, without cookies and without a persistent identifier. Google still receives your IP address, the page address, the referring site and browser details, as any web request does. Google says it uses them for measurement and, while consent is denied, for statistical modelling only. This data can be processed outside your country, including in the United States.
If you choose "Accept all", Google Analytics also sets its own cookies (_ga and _ga_*) to recognise returning visitors and show us which pages, countries and tools are used. Google acts as our processor, and Google signals and ad personalisation are switched off.
If you choose "Accept required", Google Analytics sets no cookies and nothing beyond that anonymous signal is sent. If your browser sends Global Privacy Control, no request is made to Google Analytics at all. The whole site works either way. You can change your choice at any time with "Cookie choices" in the footer.
At the 2025 rate, the world generates about 1.01 GWh per second. Ember counted 31,923 TWh generated in 2025. The counters below carry that rate into the present, so they show an estimate of how much has been generated so far this year and so far today, not a measurement.
31,923 TWh generated in 2025
About 1.01 GWh per second at that rate.
Estimate: the 2025 annual rate carried forward. Not a measurement.

At the 2025 rate, about 1.01 GWh per second. That is Ember's 31,923 TWh generated in 2025 divided by the 31,536,000 seconds in 2025.
No. They are not live measurements. Ember publishes annual statistics, and the latest complete year is 2025. Each counter takes that year's total, works out the average amount per second, and keeps adding it up from the start of the current UTC year and the current UTC day. The page says so beside every counter.
A year's statistics are only final once the year is over and countries have reported. 2025 is the latest complete year in Ember's data for the world. The counters will move to the next year when Ember publishes it and this site rebuilds.
They are as accurate as a flat average can be. Real electricity use and generation rise and fall with the seasons, the weather and the time of day, and the world grows from one year to the next. A counter running at the 2025 average will drift from the true total during 2026 and later. Treat each figure as an order of magnitude check, not an exact count.
It carries forward Ember's estimate of power sector emissions for 2025, 14,688 MtCO2 emitted in 2025, at 466 tCO2 per second. It is a modelled estimate by Ember, not a count of what smokestacks emitted, and Ember's methodology sets out which emissions it includes.
It counts from midnight UTC (coordinated universal time) and restarts every UTC midnight. The "so far this year" figure counts from midnight UTC on 1 January.
The running totals are calculated in your browser from the current time. Without JavaScript you still see each counter's static annual total from Ember.
