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
Namibia
Namibia’s energy mix is currently dominated by imported electricity and petroleum products, while domestic power generation is primarily driven by hydropower. As of early 2026, the country is aggressively shifting toward a “green energy hub” model, targeting 70% renewable energy in its electricity mix by 2030. Domestic generation remains insufficient … Continue reading
Myanmar
Myanmar’s energy mix is dominated by biomass (traditional wood burning) for total energy supply and a combination of hydropower and natural gas for electricity generation. Myanmar is identified as one of the most promising candidates for large-scale green hydrogen production in the ASEAN region due to its vast untapped renewable … Continue reading
Mozambique
Mozambique’s energy mix is characterized by a high reliance on traditional biomass for domestic consumption, while its electricity generation is dominated by hydropower, making it one of the greenest power grids in Southern Africa. Bioenergy (Biomass & Waste): Accounts for approximately 64% to 80% of total energy use. Nearly 95% … Continue reading
Morocco
Morocco is currently undergoing a rapid energy transition, moving from a heavy reliance on imported fossil fuels toward a diversified mix dominated by renewable sources. As of late 2025, renewable energy has reached 46% of the national electricity mix, a significant jump from 37% in 2021. While renewables are expanding … Continue reading
Montenegro
Montenegro’s energy mix is dominated by hydropower and coal, which together typically provide over 90% of its electricity. In 2025, the country is undergoing a significant temporary shift as its only coal plant is shut down for reconstruction, pushing the renewable share of domestic production to an estimated 80%. Montenegro … Continue reading
Mongolia
Mongolia’s energy mix is heavily dominated by coal, which accounts for approximately 70.8% of its total primary energy supply and over 85% of its domestic electricity generation. The country faces a significant challenge in balancing its vast proven coal reserves (over 2.5 billion tons) with its ambitious goal to reach … Continue reading
Monaco
Monaco’s energy mix heavily relies on imported electricity (53% in 2021), primarily from France, with a strong, growing emphasis on renewables and efficiency. Over 60% of total energy consumed is considered to be of renewable origin (including imported green electricity and local sources). Local generation includes significant use of solar … Continue reading
Moldova
Moldova’s energy mix is characterized by a heavy reliance on imports and fossil fuels, primarily natural gas and oil products. The country has historically been almost entirely dependent on external sources, but it is currently undergoing a rapid transition to diversify its energy supply and increase the share of renewables. … Continue reading
