Oman’s energy mix is currently dominated by natural gas, which powers nearly all of its electricity generation. However, the country is rapidly transitioning toward renewables to meet its Vision 2040 sustainability goals and diversify its economy away from hydrocarbon dependence. As of early 2025, reports indicate that renewables have climbed … Continue reading

Norway
Norway features one of the world’s most unique energy profiles, characterized by a nearly 100% renewable electricity grid while simultaneously being a top global exporter of oil and gas. Norway’s domestic power production is almost entirely decarbonized. Norway is rapidly advancing as a key player in Europe’s green hydrogen transition, … Continue reading
North Macedonia
North Macedonia’s energy mix is primarily driven by fossil fuels, with coal (lignite) accounting for approximately 40–47% of electricity generation, supplemented by 20–25% from hydropower, based on 2023–2024 data. The country relies heavily on imports for oil and natural gas, while rapidly increasing solar PV capacity. The energy sector is … Continue reading
Nigeria
Nigeria’s energy mix is characterized by a heavy reliance on biofuels for residential use and natural gas for electricity generation. While the country is a leading global producer of oil and gas, traditional biomass still accounts for approximately 40–45% of the total primary energy supply as of 2024–2025. Nigeria is … Continue reading
Niger
Niger’s energy mix is dominated by traditional biofuels and waste, which account for over 74% of the total energy supply, primarily used for residential cooking and heating. For electricity specifically, the country is heavily reliant on fossil fuels (96%), with oil and diesel alone generating about 74% of the total … Continue reading
Nicaragua
Nicaragua has significantly shifted its energy matrix toward renewable sources, which currently account for approximately 62.4% to 80% of its electricity generation, depending on the season and specific reporting period. As of early 2025, the country continues to expand its “clean” energy share, with a particular focus on solar energy … Continue reading
New Zealand
New Zealand’s energy mix is characterized by a high proportion of renewable sources for electricity, though fossil fuels continue to dominate total primary energy supply (TPES) due to their use in transport and industry. As of 2024, renewable energy reached a record high of 45.5% of the total primary energy … Continue reading
Netherlands
The Netherlands has undergone a rapid shift in its energy mix, with renewable sources (primarily wind and solar) providing over 52% of electricity generation for the first time in 2024 and 2025. Despite this progress in the power sector, the total national energy supply—including heating and transport—remains heavily dependent on … Continue reading
Nepal
Nepal’s energy mix is characterized by a stark contrast between its total energy consumption, which is dominated by traditional biomass, and its electricity sector, which is almost entirely renewable. Biofuels and Waste (approx. 65-66%): Traditional biomass—primarily firewood, agricultural residues, and animal dung—remains the largest energy source. It is used by … Continue reading
Nauru
Nauru’s energy mix is almost entirely dependent on imported fossil fuels, primarily diesel, which accounts for approximately 90–95% of its electricity generation. The remaining portion is supplied by solar energy. Nauru is actively integrating green hydrogen into its long-term strategy to achieve 100% renewable energy by 2050. The island’s approach … Continue reading
