Countries With a Similar Electricity Mix

Ember annual, 2022

Ukraine's closest match is Bulgaria, 78.5% the same.

  1. Bulgaria 78.5% the same Bulgaria generates 16.7 points less nuclear than Ukraine
  2. Czechia 77.1% the same Czechia generates 14.3 points more coal than Ukraine
  3. Slovakia 76.8% the same Slovakia generates 19.8 points less coal than Ukraine
  4. France 76.0% the same France generates 20.6 points less coal than Ukraine
  5. Slovenia 75.6% the same Slovenia generates 17.6 points more hydro than Ukraine

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
