Countries With a Similar Electricity Mix

Ember annual, 2025

Azerbaijan's closest match is Singapore, 89.5% the same.

  1. Singapore 89.5% the same Singapore generates 10.2 points less hydro than Azerbaijan
  2. Tunisia 89.5% the same Tunisia generates 10.2 points less hydro than Azerbaijan
  3. Oman 89.3% the same Oman generates 10.2 points less hydro than Azerbaijan
  4. Algeria 89.1% the same Algeria generates 10.2 points less hydro than Azerbaijan
  5. Qatar 89.1% the same Qatar generates 10.2 points less hydro than Azerbaijan

How close: the share of generation that would have to change fuel for one mix to match the other (half the sum of the fuel share differences); 100% minus that is "the same". Grids under 1 TWh are skipped. Grid twins: the 25 closest pairs and every country's nearest match
