Renewable Energy Share Screensaver
The Renewable Energy Share screensaver ranks countries by renewable energy's real share of electricity generation on a live bar board, drawn key-less from the World Bank's open data API. It's free, runs in your browser, and ESC exits.
How the Renewable Energy Share screensaver works
The saver fetches the latest published renewable-electricity-share figures for every country from the World Bank's open data API, with no key required.
Countries rank by real renewable share percentage, with each bar sized to scale.
The board eases smoothly if the ranking shifts on refresh.
Choose how many countries appear on the board at once.
A worked example
You'll see countries with abundant hydro or geothermal resources often leading — real published shares from the World Bank's own dataset, not modeled estimates.
Settings & tips

- This is distinct from the site's UK-specific Grid Mix, Duck Curve and Wind Farm Output savers — a global country comparison instead.
