Honest projection · estimated
Electricity Generated Today (est.)
A projection of the electricity the world’s power stations have generated since midnight UTC, ticking at the most recent annual total spread evenly across the year. Real demand swings with day and night — this is the yearly average made visible. The live, country-by-country grid that produces it is the Grid canvas.
About this number
This is an honest projection, not a census. It is computed by carrying a published figure forward at a known rate over real elapsed time — ≈ 1,006 MWh/sec (≈3.6 TW average), from Ember Global Electricity Review 2026 — ~31,750 TWh of electricity generated worldwide in 2025, spread evenly across the year. The source is Ember Global Electricity Review 2026. The true value is known only to within a margin; this is the running estimate, and we label it as one.
