Countries With a Similar Electricity Mix

Ember annual, 2024

Honduras's closest match is Suriname, 75.7% the same.

  1. Suriname 75.7% the same Suriname generates 21.3 points more hydro than Honduras
  2. Fiji 74.6% the same Fiji generates 21.7 points more hydro than Honduras
  3. Madagascar 73.3% the same Madagascar generates 20.1 points more coal than Honduras
  4. Nicaragua 68.2% the same Nicaragua generates 16.1 points less hydro than Honduras
  5. Papua New Guinea 67.7% the same Papua New Guinea generates 19.2 points more gas than Honduras

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
