Analysis
Myanmar recorded 3.5% for alternative and nuclear energy in 2024.
Compared with earlier readings it is down 3.1% on the previous year and down 15.2% over ten years.
Over the whole period, alternative and nuclear energy in Myanmar peaked at 4.5% in 2018 and was at its lowest, 0.6%, in 1998.
That places Myanmar 94th out of 151 countries with data for 2024, putting it in the middle of the range.
The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.
