Power · the grids behind AI, worldwide
65% of power behind AI outside the US comes from fossil fuels
Against 56% for the world.
Generation by source from Ember, over the newest twelve months for each country, ending between May 2026 and Sep 2026, and calendar 2025 for Indonesia, which Ember has by year only, weighted by the facility power each country’s AI campuses draw today (Epoch AI). Imports are excluded, and the data does not show which grid feeds a site.

Other fossil is mostly oil. Bio & other is bioenergy, geothermal, tidal and wave. Change is the fossil share against the same span a year earlier, in percentage points; g/kWh is life-cycle grams of CO2e per kWh generated. The US row is Ember’s national figure; the grids behind each US site come from EIA-930.
