"LITTLETON, Colorado, Oct 11 (Reuters) - Brazil generated nearly 93% of its
electricity from clean sources during the first nine months of 2023, up more
than 2 percentage points from the same period in 2022 and the largest
clean-power share among major economies.

France has historically boasted the cleanest power sector among top economies,
but has lost ground to Brazil over the past year or so due to reduced nuclear
power output in France and sharp increases in solar and wind generation in
Brazil, data from the Ember think tank shows.

Green energy capacity growth in 2023 will extend Brazil's lead, revealing that
it is possible to boost both clean and total power generation despite economic
headwinds in the form of rising interest rates, patchy consumer demand and
strained supply chains."
