- Supplier description: Expansive dataset tracking low-carbon energy production across 216 countries from 2000 to 2025. Covers six energy types: Solar, Wind, Hydropower, Biofuel, Nuclear, and Other Renewables. Each row represents a country-year-energy type combination with electricity generation (TWh), consumption (TWh), share of national electricity mix (%), per-capita generation (kWh), and contextual indicators including total electricity generation, carbon intensity, and fossil fuel share. Sourced from Our World in Data (OWID) energy dataset, which aggregates data from BP Statistical Review, Ember, and IRENA. 31,025 rows across 216 countries. Ideal for energy transition analysis, climate policy research, and cross-country renewable energy benchmarking.

Sample structure score: 94.7 / 100
This automated check describes the inspected sample, not factual accuracy, legal rights, representativeness, or the quality of the entire dataset. It is not a customer rating.
Assessed 10 sample records (CSV) on 2026-10-09. All records in the provided sample were checked.
| Check | Points | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Populated cells | 44.7 / 50 | 134 of 150 top-level cells contain a value. Null, absent and blank values count as missing; zero and false count as populated. |
| Consistent value types | 30 / 30 | 134 of 134 populated cells match their column's most common observed type. Types are inferred, not checked against real-world truth. |
| Consistent record shape | 20 / 20 | 10 of 10 records have the expected fields. CSV/TSV use the header width; JSON uses the union of observed keys. |
