According to recently compiled data, seven countries now generate almost all of their electricity from renewable energy.

Albania, Bhutan, Nepal, Paraguay, Iceland, Ethiopia, and the Democratic Republic of Congo generated over 99.7% of their electricity from geothermal, hydro, solar, or wind power sources.

Data from the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) and International Energy Agency (IEA) also indicates that an additional 40 countries produced at least 50% of the electricity from renewables in 2021 and 2022.
