World · Electricity generation

Electricity generated in the year, all sources, in terawatt-hours (Ember yearly electricity data, CC BY 4.0). For the World, the card splits the total between the countries Citoyen covers and the rest of the world.· Every series comes from ONE dataset: the countries Citoyen covers and the world total are read together, from the same source and the same release. « Rest of the world » is the world total minus the 19 countries covered (the European Union is left out, it contains France, Germany and Italy and would be counted twice). The six largest countries on the indicator are drawn on their own, the other covered countries are grouped. A year is drawn only when every country and the world are published: a missing country would otherwise land in « rest of the world » as a fake jump.· Electricity generated in the year, all sources, in terawatt-hours (Ember yearly electricity data, CC BY 4.0, compiled from national statistics, the EIA, Eurostat and the IEA). Generation is counted where the power plant is, not where the electricity is consumed.· Licence : Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 · source: Ember, yearly electricity data· Published Nov 3, 2026
