How this figure is calculated
Electricity production from renewable sources, excluding hydroelectric (kWh) divided by Population, total, matched on country and year. Neither publisher issues this ratio as a series; it is computed here from both.
Electricity production from renewable sources, excluding hydroelectric (kWh) ÷ Population, total
Computed from
- Electricity production from renewable sources, excluding hydroelectric IEA Energy Statistics Data Browser, International Energy Agency (IEA)
- Population, total World Population Prospects, United Nations (UN)
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.
