How this figure is calculated
The year-on-year percentage change in Electricity generation from low-carbon sources. Computed from consecutive annual observations; years either side of a gap are skipped rather than bridged.
Computed from
- Electricity generation from low-carbon sources Ember (2026) and other sources – with major processing by Our World in Data
Statizoid computes this series; the underlying measurements belong to the publishers named above. The arithmetic is applied to every country and year where both inputs report, and nothing is estimated unless the page says so.
