Albania's electricity is cleaner than the world average. 25 grams of CO2e a kilowatt-hour against a world figure of 458 — 95% below.

What this grid depends on

Three measures that say more about a country than how much power it makes. Open “what this means” on any of them if the term is new.

Carbon intensity
25g CO₂e per kWh

Among the cleanest electricity anywhere.

What this means

How much planet-warming gas is released to make one unit of electricity. Two countries can generate exactly the same amount and one of them be ten times dirtier doing it. Lower is better.

Electricity imported
4% of what it uses

Albania buys in more electricity than it sends out.

What this means

The share of the electricity used here that was generated abroad and carried in over high-voltage lines. The higher it climbs, the more this country relies on a neighbour to keep its lights on.

Also true of Albania

Albania runs almost entirely on hydro.

96% of its electricity comes from one source.

Albania generates no gas electricity at all, in a region built on it.

54% of grids in Europe draw more than a tenth of their power from gas.

Albania generates no wind electricity at all, in a region built on it.

49% of grids in Europe draw more than a tenth of their power from wind.
