Foreign media: Since 2015, the progress in clean energy (including nuclear, hydro, wind, solar, and other renewable sources) has varied significantly across multiple global economies. According to data from 2026, the UK, Germany, and Japan lead in increasing their share of clean electricity. The UK has increased its clean energy share by 19.5 percentage points since 2015, making it the standout among major economies, followed closely by Germany and Japan.
France continues to lead globally, with over 90% of its electricity coming from clean energy, primarily due to its long-standing reliance on nuclear power. In contrast, India and Russia have made slower progress, increasing their clean energy shares by only 5 percentage points and 1.9 percentage points respectively, highlighting the uneven pace of global energy transition.
Progress in Asian countries also varies. China's share of clean electricity has grown by 11.3 percentage points, but rising coal demand means its overall energy mix remains heavily coal-dependent. Japan, meanwhile, has gradually resumed nuclear power following the Fukushima disaster while accelerating the development of renewable energy, leading to a significant increase in its clean electricity share.
