Analysis
The most recent figure for renewable energy electricity output in Mozambique is 17,207 GWh, measured in 2015. That is the highest value across all 26 years on record.
The figure is up 6.4% on the previous year and up 29.7% over ten years.
Over the whole period, renewable energy electricity output in Mozambique peaked at 17,207 GWh in 2015 and was at its lowest, 284 GWh, in 1990.
That places Mozambique 37th out of 233 countries with data for 2015, putting it in the top quarter.
The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.
