Countries where renewables grew fastest in 10 years
Luxembourg ranks first with +59.5 pp, ahead of Estonia (+44.2 pp) and Lebanon (+42.7 pp). The world figure is +10.8 pp. 158 countries ranked, latest data 2025.
The percentage-point gain in renewable electricity share over ten years. Note that hydro-heavy countries can move up or down by several points simply because of wet or dry years, so a single drought year can distort this ranking.
Ranking rule. Countries and territories that generate less than 1 TWh of electricity a year (mostly small islands) are left out, because one diesel generator or one solar farm can swing their shares by tens of points. Values older than 2020 are also excluded. Change measured in percentage points over ten years.

Oceania (+18.5 pp) leads among continents, while Africa (+6.9 pp) trails. Continental leaders: Africa: Angola; Asia: Lebanon; Europe: Luxembourg; North America: El Salvador; South America: Venezuela; Oceania: Australia.
What does “Renewable share change (10 yr)” measure?
The change in renewables' share of electricity over the last ten years, in percentage points. Countries and territories that generate less than 1 TWh of electricity a year (mostly small islands) are left out, because one diesel generator or one solar farm can swing their shares by tens of points. Values older than 2020 are also excluded. Change measured in percentage points over ten years.
Why measure change in percentage points?
Percentage points (pp) show the absolute shift in the mix: going from 2% to 12% is +10 pp. Percentage growth would make tiny starting values look enormous. A jump from 0.1% to 1% is “+900%” but changes very little.
