Countries With a Similar Electricity Mix

Ember annual, 2025

Lithuania's closest match is Germany, 78.6% the same, and the match goes both ways, so they are grid twins.

  1. Germany 78.6% the same · grid twin Germany generates 21.0 points more coal than Lithuania
  2. Denmark 74.4% the same Denmark generates 15.0 points less gas than Lithuania
  3. Portugal 73.7% the same Portugal generates 25.9 points more hydro than Lithuania
  4. Luxembourg 71.2% the same Luxembourg generates 15.6 points more bioenergy than Lithuania
  5. Netherlands 69.1% the same The Netherlands generates 20.0 points less wind than Lithuania

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
