Armenia
ARMHydro overtook nuclear on Armenia's grid in 2025.
Today hydro supplies 28% and nuclear 27%.
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.
Cleaner than 7 in 10 grids worldwide.
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.
Armenia generates a surplus and sells it on.
What this means
The share of what this country generates that is sold abroad rather than used at home. A country can only export if it produces more than it needs, which usually means plentiful hydro, nuclear or wind.
Also true of Armenia
Armenia is second in Asia for nuclear.
Nuclear supplies 27% of its electricity.
Armenia generates no coal electricity at all, in a region built on it.
45% of grids in Asia draw more than a tenth of their power from coal.
Gas overtook hydro on Armenia's grid in 2012.
Today gas supplies 34% and hydro 28%.
