The Energy Ledger

Mix, Storage, Flows, Reserves

The physical energy system that powers everything on the site. Electricity generation mix, battery storage build-out, LNG flows, nuclear reactor status, capacity factors, hydrocarbon reserves and per-GDP energy intensity. Live World Bank energy indicators joined with curated IEA, BNEF, IGU, IAEA and EIA snapshots.

Who Depends on Whom

Live net energy imports as a share of energy use. Above zero the country is buying energy in; below zero it is selling a surplus. Bar colour carries the renewable share of final consumption, which is the only thing that structurally shrinks the exposure.

Electricity Generation Mix

Stacked bars showing where each major economy's electricity actually comes from in 2023. The mix reflects both geology (hydro-rich Norway, gas-rich Qatar) and policy (nuclear-heavy France, coal-heavy India).

The Battery Storage Revolution

BNEF Global Storage Outlook: cumulative operational GWh 2015-2030. Grid-scale batteries went from novelty to essential in five years.

LNG Flows Redrawn

Post-Ukraine, US LNG dethroned Qatar as the world's biggest exporter; Europe replaced Asia as the biggest premium buyer. Filter by exporter to see specific flow patterns.

The Nuclear Restart

IAEA PRIS September 2025: operable reactors + build pipeline + policy stance. China dominates the build queue; Germany's phase-out completed in 2023; Italy is putting new nuclear back on the ballot.

Capacity Factors

What share of nameplate capacity each source actually delivers over a year, alongside its lifecycle CO₂ intensity. Nuclear runs flat-out; solar sits idle overnight; storage exists to bridge the gap.
