Hydro + wind + solar + bio + geothermal · % of the electricity mix · 1985–2024 · OWID · ~207 countries
Renewables' share — hydropower included — of each country's electricity production: hydro, wind, solar, biomass, geothermal, tidal and wave combined. Wind and solar remain separate indicators: a hydro-inclusive total would visually flatten their own growth, which is far more recent.
Our World in Data (Energy Institute + Ember), raw renewables_share_elec column — 207 sovereign countries covered, annual from 1985 to 2024.
Time slider. A country at 100% is not necessarily a model of deliberate energy transition: it is most often terrain that has offered abundant hydropower all along.
Six countries show 100% renewables — Albania, Bhutan, Ethiopia, Iceland, Nepal, Paraguay — mostly thanks to hydropower (mountainous terrain or a major river); Iceland adds abundant geothermal power, unique at this scale worldwide.
