What Renewable Energy Share Measures
Share of final energy consumption supplied by renewable energy, from Our World in Data using the latest available country values in TerraBrawl.
Why This Ranking Matters
Examining Renewable Energy Share across all countries reveals patterns that might not be obvious at the national level. Regional clusters, outlier nations, and historical trajectories all become clearer when the full global picture is assembled in a single ranking.
Global Range
Values range from 0.01% (Turkmenistan) to 80.5% (Iceland) — a 12.0K-fold difference across 79 countries.
Regional Patterns
European countries dominate this ranking, holding 12 of the top 20 positions. This strong regional concentration suggests shared economic, geographic, or policy factors that drive higher values across the continent.
Values are broadly distributed across countries, with the middle 50% ranging from 5.78% to 24.74%. The overall spread from 0.01% to 80.5% reflects significant global variation.
Notable Outliers
The top of the ranking is competitive: Iceland and Norway are separated by only 12%, indicating that the leading positions could shift with updated data.
