Daily Electricity Facts

One new fact from the electricity data every day, each written to stand alone, with its year and source. Every card has buttons to post it, copy it, or download it as an image. Facts come from Ember's annual statistics, so a fact names the data year it refers to, not the day it was posted.

How the Facts Are Chosen

  • From the data. Each fact is computed from the Ember annual statistics on this site: the highest share of a fuel, a fall in carbon intensity, a source overtaking another, demand per person and similar comparisons. Nothing is written by hand.
  • Comparable. Rankings only count countries that generated at least 10 TWh, and every figure uses each country's latest year, named in the fact.
  • Frozen once posted. A fact never changes after its day, even when the data is later revised. The next data refresh can only change future facts.
