Mapped: Electricity Generation from Renewables (% of Total) by Country (WDI April 2026)

World Bank WDI April 2026 update maps the clean energy divide — Norway at 95%+, Saudi Arabia and India at 10% or below, with 2010-2024 trend data showing transition speed.

Why it matters

The World Bank's April 2026 WDI energy update provides fresh data on the global renewables split. The Norway/hydro vs coal-Asia contrast is visually dramatic, and the 2010-2024 time series shows which countries are actually moving.

Map angle

Urgency

Fresh April 2026 WDI batch. Energy transition is a perennial Mappr traffic driver — a new data vintage is the right trigger.
