How this measure is built
- Definition
- The combined share of wind and solar PV in total electricity generation.
- Measure
- One slice of Electricity generation ( form: share, segment: wind and solar pv ) . Total volume of electric energy generated. 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.
