Brazil, which will host the G-20 next year has the highest share of clean electricity in the G-20. However, India, the current host, is behind in decarbonising its electricity system. It has the second highest coal reliance, after South Africa, but is already getting 9 per cent of its electricity from solar and wind.
On the other hand, Brazil generated 89 per cent of its electricity from clean sources, which includes 63 per cent hydro, 12 per cent wind power and 3 per cent solar power. Fossil fuels accounted for 11 per cent of Brazil’s generation in 2022, the majority of which was gas (7 per cent).
