The United Kingdom’s energy mix has undergone a historic transformation, marked by the complete phase-out of coal-fired electricity in September 2024. As of early 2026, the electricity sector is dominated by zero-carbon sources, while the broader total energy supply (which includes heating and transport) remains heavily reliant on natural gas … Continue reading

United Arab Emirates
The United Arab Emirates (UAE) is actively diversifying its energy mix, moving from 90%+ fossil fuel reliance toward cleaner sources, with natural gas still dominating at roughly 60% of total energy supply in 2023. The nation is integrating significant nuclear (approaching 20% of electricity) and solar energy to meet targets … Continue reading
Ukraine
As of 2023-2024, Ukraine’s energy mix is dominated by nuclear power (roughly 50-55% of electricity generation), followed by significant contributions from coal, hydropower, and increasing, yet vulnerable, renewable sources. Ukraine is strategically positioned to become a major supplier of green hydrogen to the European Union, leveraging its vast renewable energy … Continue reading
Uganda
Uganda’s energy mix is heavily dominated by biomass, which accounts for roughly 89–94% of total energy consumption, primarily used for cooking in residential and industrial sectors. While biomass is the largest, the electricity sector is predominantly fueled by hydropower, which provides over 80% of generation capacity. Oil products account for … Continue reading
Tuvalu
Tuvalu’s energy mix is heavily reliant on imported petroleum, which accounted for approximately 96% of the country’s total energy supply in 2021, with solar and other renewable energy sources providing the remaining 4%. While diesel generators currently dominate, the country is actively working to transition to 100% renewable energy, with … Continue reading
Turkmenistan
Turkmenistan’s energy mix is almost exclusively dominated by natural gas, which constitutes over 75% of total primary energy supply and nearly 100% of electricity generation. As a major global gas exporter with the world’s fourth-largest reserves, the nation has a negligible share of renewables (roughly 0.02% hydropower). Turkmenistan is positioning … Continue reading
Turkey
Turkey’s energy mix is rapidly diversifying, with a 2024 installed capacity of 112–120 GW driven by significant growth in renewables (44-46% of generation) alongside a heavy, import-dependent reliance on coal and natural gas. Key sources include roughly 27% hydro, 19-20% solar/wind, 18-26% coal, and 21% natural gas, with nuclear from … Continue reading
Tunisia
Tunisia’s energy mix is heavily dominated by fossil fuels, with over 95% of electricity generated from natural gas as of 2023–2024. The country faces an energy deficit, importing nearly 48% of its total energy needs, primarily from Algeria. While renewables (solar/wind) are growing, they represent a small fraction of the … Continue reading
Trinidad and Tobago
Trinidad and Tobago’s energy mix is almost entirely dominated by natural gas, which accounted for approximately 92.6% to 93.2% of the total energy supply in 2021-2023. Electricity generation relies almost exclusively on natural gas. The country is the Caribbean’s largest oil and gas producer, with minimal renewable energy integration. Trinidad … Continue reading
Tonga
Tonga’s energy mix is dominated by imported fossil fuels, which account for approximately 85–90% of total electricity generation as of early 2024. While the country has made strides in integrating renewable sources—primarily solar and wind—they currently contribute roughly 14–17% to the electricity mix. Tonga is exploring green hydrogen as a … Continue reading
