The Race to Renewables | Hydro Power Generation by country

Hydropower generation, 2023
Annual hydropower generation is measured in terawatt-hours (TWh).

Share of primary energy that comes from hydropower
This interactive chart shows the share of primary energy that comes from hydropower.

Note that this data is based on primary energy calculated by the 'substitution method' which attempts to correct for the inefficiencies in fossil fuel production. It does this by converting non-fossil fuel sources to their 'input equivalents': the amount of primary energy that would be required to produce the same amount of energy if it came from fossil fuels.


We often hear about the rapid growth of renewable technologies in media reports. But how much of an impact has this growth had on our energy systems?

In this interactive chart, we see the share of primary energy consumption that came from renewable technologies – the combination of hydropower, solar, wind, geothermal, wave, tidal, and modern biofuels. Traditional biomass – which can be an important energy source in lower-income settings is not included.

Approximately one-seventh of the world's primary energy is now sourced from renewable technologies.
