Kilowatt-hour measurements of electricity generated from geothermal, solar, tidal, wind, biomass, and biofuel sources worldwide. Data is compiled by the World Bank's World Development Indicators organization, tracking national contributions to non-hydro renewable energy.
Use Cases
- Model national renewable energy adoption trends over time using the kWh production time-series.
- Compare the growth rates of different renewable sources (geothermal, solar, wind, biomass) across countries.
- Forecast future electricity generation from non-hydro renewables based on historical production data.
- Analyze correlations between a country's renewable electricity production and other development indicators.
Strengths
- Data covers multiple renewable energy sources: geothermal, solar, tides, wind, biomass, and biofuels.
- Sourced from the authoritative World Bank World Development Indicators collection.
Limitations
- Specific row count, time range, and geographic coverage are unknown.
- Excludes hydroelectric power, limiting analysis of total renewable generation.
