South Africa

South Africa’s energy mix is heavily dominated by coal, which accounts for roughly 82–85% of electricity generation, though this is gradually shifting towards renewables. While coal remains the primary source, the energy sector is diversifying with increasing investments in solar, wind, and nuclear to reduce carbon emissions and address power … Continue reading

Somalia

Somalia’s energy mix is heavily dominated by fossil fuels, with approximately 87–95% of electricity generated from imported diesel, often via expensive, inefficient private mini-grids. While over 80% of household energy for cooking relies on biomass (charcoal/firewood), solar and wind power (renewables) are growing, representing about 12-13% of the power capacity. … Continue reading

Solomon Islands

The Solomon Islands’ energy mix is overwhelmingly reliant on imported diesel for electricity generation, with over 90% to 97% of power coming from fossil fuels. While renewable energy currently makes up only about 2% to 3% of the mix, the country has set an ambitious target to reach 100% renewable … Continue reading

Slovenia

Slovenia’s electricity generation mix is roughly divided into thirds between nuclear, hydroelectric, and fossil fuels (mainly coal), with a growing, though still minor, share of solar. As of 2025, over 80% of electricity is low-carbon, with nuclear power (approx. 40%) and hydro (approx. 30%) as the primary sources. The country … Continue reading

Slovakia

Slovakia’s energy mix is heavily decarbonized, with over 85% of electricity generated from low-carbon sources as of 2023. Nuclear power is the dominant source, providing approximately 61–63% of electricity. Hydropower (14–17%), biomass (5%), and small amounts of solar and natural gas make up the rest of the generation. Slovakia is … Continue reading

Singapore

Singapore’s energy mix is heavily dominated by natural gas, which accounts for approximately 93% to 95% of its electricity generation as of early 2025. While the nation is aggressively expanding its renewable capacity, particularly solar, non-fossil sources currently contribute less than 5% of the total electricity supply. Singapore is rapidly … Continue reading

Sierra Leone

Sierra Leone’s energy mix is heavily dominated by traditional biomass (wood, charcoal) for cooking, while electricity generation relies on a mix of hydropower (approx. 75–90%) and imported fossil fuels (thermal/diesel). With only ~30% of the population having electricity access, the country is expanding renewable capacity, aiming for a 2035 mix … Continue reading

Seychelles

Seychelles’ energy mix is heavily dominated by imported fossil fuels (mostly diesel and fuel oil), which account for over 85% of electricity generation. Renewable energy, primarily solar PV and some wind, contributes about 5-15% of the total, with targets to reach 15% by 2030 and 50% by 2050. The nation … Continue reading

Serbia

Serbia’s energy mix is heavily dominated by fossil fuels, specifically lignite coal, which accounts for approximately 60-70% of its electricity generation as of early 2026. The country is currently in the early stages of a strategic transition toward renewable energy and potentially nuclear power to meet its 2050 decarbonization goals. … Continue reading

Senegal

Senegal’s energy mix is heavily dominated by imported oil, accounting for roughly 85% of electricity generation in 2023. However, the country is rapidly integrating renewables, including solar and wind, and transitioning towards natural gas for power generation, targeting 30% renewable energy capacity as it aims for universal electricity access by … Continue reading
