Value-added panel of the World Bank's World Development Indicators (keyless API v2, CC BY 4.0): per-fuel shares of total electricity output — coal, natural gas, hydro and nuclear — for ~250 economies, 1990-2024, with derived mix signals: coal+gas and hydro+nuclear subtotals, the dominant generation source, 10-year pillar changes and within-year pillar ranks. The fossil-side companion to the renewables pillar in wb_sustainability_intel; joins on economy_code with the catalog's other World Bank panels.

Column	Type	Description
economy_code	string	ISO 3166-1 alpha-3 economy code (World Bank API field countryiso3code).
economy_name	string	Economy name as published by the World Bank API.
region	string	World Bank region (API field region.value).
income_group	string	World Bank income group (API field incomeLevel.value).
year	integer	Reference year (1990-2024; 2024 is only partially covered — the IEA electricity vintage lags).
coal_share_pct	float	Electricity produced from coal sources as a share of total electricity output (WDI indicator EG.ELC.COAL.ZS, sourced from IEA electricity statistics and UN energy statistics). (unit: % of total electricity output)
gas_share_pct	float	Electricity produced from natural gas sources as a share of total electricity output (WDI indicator EG.ELC.NGAS.ZS, IEA and UN energy statistics). (unit: % of total electricity output)
hydro_share_pct	float	Electricity produced from hydroelectric sources as a share of total electricity output (WDI indicator EG.ELC.HYRO.ZS, IEA and UN energy statistics). (unit: % of total electricity output)
nuclear_share_pct	float	Electricity produced from nuclear power plants as a share of total electricity output (WDI indicator EG.ELC.NUCL.ZS, IEA and UN energy statistics). Null is genuine for economies with no nuclear fleet. (unit: % of total electricity output)
fossil_coal_gas_share_pct	float	Coal + natural gas subtotal of electricity output (connector-derived). Covers coal and gas only — oil is not published in WDI's electricity mix. Null when either component is null. (unit: % of total electricity output)
low_carbon_hn_share_pct	float	Hydro + nuclear subtotal of electricity output (connector-derived). Null when either component is null. (unit: % of total electricity output)
dominant_source	string	The pillar with the largest share in the year (connector-derived): one of coal, natural gas, hydro, nuclear; null when all four pillars are null.
coal_change_10y_pp	float	Trailing 10-year change of the coal share, in percentage points (the coal phase-down lens); null when the base year is absent. (unit: pp)
gas_change_10y_pp	float	Trailing 10-year change of the gas share, in percentage points; null when the base year is absent. (unit: pp)
hydro_change_10y_pp	float	Trailing 10-year change of the hydro share, in percentage points; null when the base year is absent. (unit: pp)
nuclear_change_10y_pp	float	Trailing 10-year change of the nuclear share, in percentage points; null when the base year is absent. (unit: pp)
coal_rank	integer	Rank of coal_share_pct within the year (1 = highest coal share); null where the share is null. (unit: rank)
gas_rank	integer	Rank of gas_share_pct within the year (1 = highest gas share); null where the share is null. (unit: rank)
hydro_rank	integer	Rank of hydro_share_pct within the year (1 = highest hydro share); null where the share is null. (unit: rank)
nuclear_rank	integer	Rank of nuclear_share_pct within the year (1 = highest nuclear share); null where the share is null. (unit: rank)
row_hash	string	Deterministic 12-hex row identity hash (economy_code\|year).
