% of the electricity mix 1985–2024 · OWID (Energy Institute + Ember) · ~121 countries
Natural gas's share of each country's electricity production, as a percentage — nine data points from 1985 to 2024.
Our World in Data (Energy Institute + Ember): about 121 countries covered, against about 31 with the Energy Institute source alone.
Time slider, year by year. A high share says nothing about the volume produced — only about gas's place WITHIN the local mix.
Turkmenistan (nearly 100%), Bahrain and Trinidad and Tobago draw almost all their electricity from natural gas: they are also major producers, for whom burning gas locally is cheaper than exporting it.
