Countries With a Similar Electricity Mix
Ember annual, 2025Kyrgyzstan's closest match is Tajikistan, 98.9% the same, and the match goes both ways, so they are grid twins.
- Tajikistan 98.9% the same · grid twin Tajikistan generates 1.0 points less coal than Kyrgyzstan
- Ethiopia 93.5% the same Ethiopia generates 5.7 points less coal than Kyrgyzstan
- Albania 93.5% the same Albania generates 5.7 points less coal than Kyrgyzstan
- Bhutan 93.5% the same Bhutan generates 6.5 points more hydro than Kyrgyzstan
- Nepal 93.5% the same Nepal generates 5.7 points less coal than Kyrgyzstan
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
