About this data
This dataset provides information on electricity generation and installed capacity, categorized by energy type (renewable and non-renewable) and five technology types (Fossil fuels, Hydropower, Solar energy, Wind energy, and Bioenergy). The data has been sourced from the International Renewable Energy Agency (https://pxweb.irena.org/pxweb/en/IRENASTAT). The indicators on energy transition have been formulated to help users understand the progress in the adoption of renewable energy sources vis-à-vis the increasing energy requirements.
