Energy Mix

The energy mix refers to the combination of energy sources used to meet a country's power, heating, and transportation needs. The electricity mix is a subset, focusing specifically on the sources used to generate electricity, which vary based on resources, policies, and demand.

Energy Sources
Electricity is produced from fossil fuels like coal and natural gas, as well as renewable sources such as solar, wind, and hydropower. Nuclear energy also contributes to stable, low-emission electricity generation.

Balancing Supply
A diverse electricity mix helps ensure reliability and stability. Fossil fuels provide consistent power, while renewables depend on weather conditions. Energy storage and grid management balance supply and demand.

Future Trends
Many countries are shifting toward cleaner energy by increasing renewables and reducing fossil fuel reliance. Advances in storage, smart grids, and energy efficiency will support this transition while maintaining reliability.
