What Renewable Energy Share Measures

Renewable Energy % from World Bank Open 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% (Sint Maarten) to 96.3% (Congo, Democratic Republic) — an infinitely large difference across 212 countries.

Regional Patterns

African countries dominate this ranking, holding 18 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 7.50% to 46.5%. The overall spread from 0% to 96.3% reflects significant global variation.

Notable Outliers
