Wind generation is king, apparently. I'm curious what the imports consist of, presumably natural gas but it's not indicated; however it doesn't seem to have that big of a reliance.

The electricity maps site calculates the carbon intensity of the grid imports and lists it on the map and the country specifically views (click for more info):

As a general rule, the imports are imported because they are cheaper and generally cheaper means cleaner.
