BRAZIL generated nearly 93% of its electricity from clean sources during the first nine months of 2023, up more than two percentage points from the same period in 2022 and the largest clean-power share among major economies.

France has historically boasted the cleanest power sector among top economies, but has lost ground to Brazil over the past year or so due to reduced nuclear power output in France and sharp increases in solar and wind generation in Brazil, data from the Ember think tank shows.
