How this measure is built
- Definition
- Proportion of the net annual increase in total electricity demand supplied by wind and solar photovoltaic generation.
- Measure
- One slice of Electricity demand ( counting rule: growth share, form: share, segment: wind and solar pv ) . Total volume of electricity demanded by consumers and the power grid. Region and period are columns on every record, not slices.
- Limitations
- 1 figure is a projection, drawn dashed and labelled in the table. Values are shown as published; StatOrigin does not revise, fill gaps or convert currencies.
- Verification
- Each value, unit, period and place was checked against its source evidence before publication. See the methodology and the corrections process.
