April 1, 2024

In total, these top 6 countries accounted for almost 50% of global natural gas power generation in 2022.

North America has, by far, the largest amount of natural gas power generation increasing from 600 TWh in 2000 to a peak of over 1,600 TWh in 2020. It declined slightly the next few years mainly due to the impact of the Covid pandemic.

Russia ranks 2nd at about 500 TWh over the past decade. They are followed closely by Japan at 300-400 TWh over the past 10 years.
