Global electricity production by source
The stacked chart shows how electricity production is divided among coal, gas, oil, nuclear, hydro, wind, solar, bioenergy, and other renewables. Region buttons reveal different energy mixes.
Electricity is central to climate action. Replacing fossil generation with clean power reduces emissions and makes electric vehicles, heat pumps, and industry cleaner over time.
Grid upgrades, energy storage, transmission lines, efficiency, and policies that accelerate wind, solar, hydro, geothermal, and nuclear deployment can reduce fossil dependence.
