The share of low-carbon electricity

Share of nuclear and renewables in electricity generated, in %, 2025 or latest published year.

Why this map matters for AI

Data centres look for abundant, low-carbon electricity. Where it exists, they compete with the electrification of transport, heating and industry.

The analysis

  • This map is the mirror of the carbon intensity map: the higher the low-carbon share, the lower the intensity.
  • Low-carbon electricity can be scarce: a high share does not mean there is capacity left for new centres.

The figures

  • On the green scale, the lighter a country, the more of its electricity comes from nuclear and renewables.
  • World average: 42.6 % in 2025.
  • France is at 95 %, Norway at 99 %, the United States at 43 %, China at 42 %.

Assumptions

  • Electricity generated in the country: nuclear, hydro, wind, solar, bioenergy.
  • The share of electricity generated, not consumed: trade between countries is not counted.
  • 2025 for most countries, 2023 or 2024 for the others.
