Countries With a Similar Electricity Mix

Ember annual, 2025

Cyprus's closest match is Senegal, 88.4% the same.

Senegal 88.4% the same Senegal generates 11.7 points less solar than Cyprus
Mauritania 86.3% the same Mauritania generates 12.8 points less solar than Cyprus
Yemen 86.2% the same Yemen generates 12.7 points more other fossil than Cyprus
Martinique 84.3% the same Martinique generates 15.0 points more bioenergy than Cyprus
Barbados 83.9% the same Barbados generates 13.4 points more other fossil than Cyprus

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
