Countries With a Similar Electricity Mix

Ember annual, 2025

Malta's closest match is Israel, 95.8% the same, and the match goes both ways, so they are grid twins.

  1. Israel 95.8% the same · grid twin Israel generates 3.4 points more coal than Malta
  2. Oman 88.5% the same Oman generates 10.9 points less solar than Malta
  3. Singapore 86.8% the same Singapore generates 13.2 points less solar than Malta
  4. Qatar 86.7% the same Qatar generates 13.3 points more gas than Malta
  5. Tunisia 86.0% the same Tunisia generates 13.4 points less solar than Malta

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
