The pie charts illustrate the proportions of electricity generated from fossil fuels, hydropower, and nuclear power in four countries between 2003 and 2008.
Overall, it is clear that fossil fuels were the main source of electricity in India and Vietnam, whereas nuclear power and hydropower dominated in Sweden and Morocco, respectively.
In Vietnam, there are only two sources of electricity. The share of electricity that comes from fossil fuels is 56.30 percent, whereas the rest comes from hydropower plants. As for India, the proportion of thermal power plants is far more significant, equaling 82.90 percent. Unlike Vietnam, except for hydropower energy, India also has nuclear resources with a 3.5 percent share.
Morocco mainly relies on hydropower resources. This is because 95.5 percent of electricity is produced by hydropower plants, and the other small proportion belongs to thermal resources. Similarly, over 50 percent of Sweden’s electricity is produced by hydropower sources, and 4 percent from fossil fuels. However, in Sweden, the second main source is nuclear energy.
