- Paraguay: Paraguay leads the list with a remarkable 100% clean electricity supply, entirely powered by hydropower. This achievement was made possible after closing its last thermal plant in December 2021.
- Norway: Norway is one of the largest producers of “clean” energy, with 98.3% of its energy coming from renewable sources. The majority of this is from hydropower.
- Costa Rica: Costa Rica has consistently produced about 98% of its electricity from renewable sources over the past several years, leveraging hydropower, wind, and solar energy.
- Iceland: Iceland generates almost 100% of its electricity from renewable sources, primarily through a combination of hydropower and geothermal energy.
- Bhutan: Bhutan generates nearly all of its electricity (about 99.8%) from hydropower. It is one of the few carbon-negative countries globally.
- New Zealand: While New Zealand’s overall renewable energy percentage in its grid mix is around 87.6%, it aims to increase this significantly in the coming years.
- Brazil: Brazil ranks high as well, with 89.3% of its energy coming from renewable sources, largely due to its extensive hydropower resources.
