Montenegro
MNEHydro overtook coal on Montenegro's grid in 2023.
Today hydro supplies 59% and coal 24%.
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.
Montenegro depends heavily on its neighbours for power.
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 Montenegro
Montenegro 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.
Montenegro has taken the carbon out of its electricity fast.
523 grams of CO2e a kilowatt-hour in 2015, 264 in 2025.
Montenegro's electricity is cleaner than the world average.
264 grams of CO2e a kilowatt-hour against a world figure of 458 — 42% below.

Figures are for 2025, the most recent year reported for Montenegro. Generation shares are a percentage of electricity generated, not of energy used. How this is calculated.
