Countries With a Similar Electricity Mix
Ember annual, 2025Tunisia's closest match is Qatar, 97.2% the same, and the match goes both ways, so they are grid twins.
- Qatar 97.2% the same · grid twin Qatar generates 1.5 points less other fossil than Tunisia
- Algeria 96.1% the same Algeria generates 3.9 points more gas than Tunisia
- Oman 95.7% the same Oman generates 3.2 points less gas than Tunisia
- Trinidad and Tobago 95.2% the same Trinidad and Tobago generates 4.8 points more gas than Tunisia
- Singapore 95.1% the same Singapore generates 3.6 points less gas than Tunisia
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
