Analysis
Senegal recorded 412 GWh for renewable energy electricity output in 2015. 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 28.0% over ten years.
Over the whole period, renewable energy electricity output in Senegal peaked at 412 GWh in 2015 and was at its lowest, 44 GWh, in 1990.
That places Senegal 128th out of 233 countries with data for 2015, putting it in the middle of the range.
The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.
