IEA Hydroelectric Energy Production Data

Energy Production - Hydro (IEA) contains data on the primary energy content of electricity generated by hydro power plants. The dataset is sourced from the International Energy Agency via the CEOS_EXTRA organization and was last updated in December 2008. It specifically excludes output from pumped storage facilities.

Use Cases

• Analyze trends in hydro energy production over time using the primary energy content metric.
• Compare hydroelectric output against other primary energy sources listed in the IEA's broader production dataset.
• Model the historical contribution of hydro power to the global energy mix, excluding pumped storage.

Strengths

• Data originates from the authoritative International Energy Agency (IEA).
• Provides a specific metric for hydroelectric energy production distinct from other energy types.

Limitations

• The dataset is temporally stale, with a last update date of December 2008.
• The specific row count, column details, and geographic coverage are unknown.
