Electricity generation in the Middle East is expected to reach 1,492 TWh in 2024. Gas dominates the energy mix at 67.8%, reflecting the region’s vast natural gas resources. Other non-renewables account for 23.3%, while renewables remain at 5.2%. Nuclear energy is growing but still contributes just 3.2%. The region’s reliance on fossil fuels remains strong, with gradual efforts to diversify.

Electricity Supply and TWh

Electricity supply is the total energy generated for use in homes, businesses, and industries. It is measured in terawatt-hours (TWh), with 1 TWh equaling one trillion watt-hours. Different sources—coal, gas, nuclear, and renewables—contribute to the mix, varying by region and policy.
