Solar and Wind Share of Electricity by Country

Share of electricity generated from wind and solar, latest year, large economies, %

Netherlands leads at 46.1%
Current·Data to 2025

Plays the chart through its history. Pauses are where a new leader takes first place.

Source: Ember (CC BY 4.0). Latest full year each country reports. The world and the European Union are shown in grey for comparison.

How far each large economy has moved its power grid onto wind and solar, against the world and EU averages. Grids with good wind or sun and early policy support tend to lead; large fossil-fuel producers tend to trail.
