SWEDEN

ENERGY CONSUMPTION PER GDP( KWH /$): 1.26 KWH / US $ RENEWABLES SHARE: 57.9 % ALTERNATIVE AND NUCLEAR SHARE: 49.2 % CLEAN ENERGY INDEX: 78.2 / 100
The sheer breadth of Sweden’ s energy mix makes it stand out. Today, fossil fuels power only a quarter of the country’ s electricity. Meanwhile, renewables spanning hydroelectric, wind and biomass account for nearly 58 % of its total consumption. Sweden’ s carbon intensity of 35 gCO₂ / kWh places it below France and Finland, and the diversity of its energy sources gives its grid a resilience that nations that focus on fewer sources often struggle to match.
