Guinea’s energy mix is primarily driven by biomass (77%), followed by oil and hydropower. While traditional biomass dominates consumption, the country is rapidly shifting its electricity generation toward massive, untapped hydropower potential, aiming for over 80% renewable capacity by 2025. Electricity is primarily generated from hydroelectricity. The country aims for … Continue reading

Guatemala
Guatemala’s energy mix is characterized by a significant reliance on renewable sources, which accounted for approximately 65.6% to 72% of its electricity generation in 2023–2024. When considering the total energy supply (including fuel for transport and heating), biofuels and waste (primarily firewood and sugar cane bagasse) remain the dominant source … Continue reading
Grenada
Grenada’s energy mix is heavily reliant on imported fossil fuels, with approximately 98%–100% of electricity generation fueled by diesel, heavy fuel oil, and propane as of 2020–2022. While solar energy makes up a small, growing percentage (around 1.5%–2%) of capacity, the nation faces high electricity prices and seeks to transition … Continue reading
Greece
Greece’s energy mix is currently undergoing a rapid transition from a heavy reliance on domestic lignite (brown coal) toward renewable energy and natural gas. In 2024, clean energy (renewables and large hydro) met 50.5% of the country’s electricity demand. Wind & Solar accounted for approximately 44.4% of demand in 2024. … Continue reading
Ghana
Ghana’s energy mix is currently dominated by thermal power (primarily natural gas) and hydropower, which together account for over 98% of electricity generation. As of 2025, the country is actively expanding its renewable energy capacity, aiming to increase the share of non-hydro renewables from approximately 2% to 14%. Ghana is … Continue reading
Germany
In 2024–2025, Germany’s energy mix is transitioning toward renewables, which constitute over 50% of electricity generation, yet fossils (oil and gas) still dominate over 75% of primary energy consumption. Following the April 2023 nuclear phase-out, wind remains the leading power source, followed by solar, coal, and natural gas, with a … Continue reading
The Gambia
The Gambia’s energy mix is currently dominated by imported fossil fuels and traditional biomass, though it is undergoing a rapid transition toward solar energy and regional grid integration. As of early 2025, the government has set an ambitious target to reach 90% electricity access by the end of the year, … Continue reading
Gabon
Gabon’s energy mix is characterized by a high reliance on biofuels and waste (74.9%) for total energy supply and a split between hydropower (46.3%) and fossil fuels (53.4%) for electricity generation. The country is currently undergoing a transition focused on expanding renewable capacity, specifically targeting 10 MW of solar power … Continue reading
France
France’s energy mix is heavily dominated by nuclear power, which provides roughly 65-69% of its electricity generation as of 2024-2025, making it one of the lowest-carbon intensity grids in Europe. When considering all energy (not just electricity), nuclear provides 44%, followed by oil (27%) and gas (12%). France is heavily … Continue reading
Finland
Finland’s energy mix has undergone a rapid transformation, reaching 95% fossil-free electricity production in 2024. This shift is anchored by the expansion of nuclear power and a surge in wind energy, positioning Finland as a leader in the European energy transition. Nuclear power remains the largest source following the 2023 … Continue reading
