Analysis
IBRD only recorded 1.78 trillion kWh for electricity production from renewable sources, excluding hydroelectric in 2021. That is the highest value across all 32 years on record.
Compared with earlier readings it is up 24.9% on the previous year and up 652.6% over ten years.
Over the whole period, electricity production from renewable sources, excluding hydroelectric in IBRD only peaked at 1.78 trillion kWh in 2021 and was at its lowest, 12.31 billion kWh, in 1990.
That places IBRD only 5th out of 47 groups with data for 2021, putting it in the top 10%.
The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.
