This is a list of countries and dependencies by annual electricity production. China is the world's largest electricity producing country, followed by the United States and India. Data are for the year 2023 and are sourced from Ember unless otherwise specified. [1] Links for each location go to the relevant electricity market page, when available.
Nuclear is nonrenewable percentage of Electricity production. The above-mentioned underestimation of hydro, wind and solar energy, compared to nuclear and fossil energy, applies also to Enerdata. The 2021 world total energy production of 14,800 MToe corresponds to a little over 172 PWh / year, or about 19.6 TW of power generation.

The cost of electricity in the U.S. is soaring. The reason? A few, including the volatile costs for natural gas, increasing wildfire risk, an essentially overwhelmed national grid and, of course,...
The invention of the steam turbine in 1884 to drive the electric generator led to an increase in worldwide electricity consumption. [7] In 2022, the total worldwide electricity production was nearly 29,000 TWh. [8] Total primary energy is converted into numerous forms, including, but not limited to, electricity, heat and motion. [9]
The levelized cost of electricity (LCOE) is a metric that attempts to compare the costs of different methods of electricity generation consistently. Though LCOE is often presented as the minimum constant price at which electricity must be sold to break even over the lifetime of the project, such a cost analysis requires assumptions about the value of various non-financial costs (environmental ...
