Global Renewable Energy Generation by Country — 2023

About this data

Comprehensive dataset covering renewable electricity generation across 49 major economies worldwide. Includes solar, wind, hydro, biofuel, and other renewable energy generation (TWh), share of total electricity (%), per-capita metrics (kWh), year-over-year growth rates, and population-normalized figures. Data sourced from Our World in Data (OWID) energy dataset, which aggregates from IRENA, Ember, and the Energy Institute. Ideal for climate policy analysis, energy transition research, ESG scoring, and cross-country benchmarking.
