Transition Overview

Each point is a country in the most recent available year (2024). The X-axis shows progress on decarbonizing the electricity grid, measured as the share of electricity generation renewables and nuclear. The Y-axis shows progress on electification, measured as the share of total energy supply that is used for electricity generation. The size of each point is proportional to the total electricity generation for that country and year.
