Analysis
In 2015, renewable energy electricity output in Myanmar stood at 9,399 GWh. That is the highest value across all 26 years on record.
Compared with earlier readings it is up 6.5% on the previous year and up 213.6% over ten years.
Over the whole period, renewable energy electricity output in Myanmar peaked at 9,399 GWh in 2015 and was at its lowest, 949 GWh, in 1998.
That places Myanmar 59th 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.
