Yearly data from 2000 to 2021, from the World Bank.
American Samoa's electricity production from renewable sources, excluding hydroelectric (kWh) was 6.83 million in 2021, the latest year in the World Bank's World Development Indicators. That is up 2,430% from 270,000 in 2011 (38.14% a year on average, compounded).
| Value | Year | |
|---|---|---|
| Latest | 6.83 million | 2021 |
| Five years earlier | 3.13 million | 2016 |
| Ten years earlier | 270,000 | 2011 |
| Highest | 7.98 million | 2018 |
| Lowest | 0 | 2000 |
| Average since 2012 | 4.86 million | 2012–2021 |
| First recorded | 0 | 2000 |
Over five years it is up 118.21% from 3.13 million in 2016 (16.89% a year on average, compounded).
In 2021, American Samoa's electricity production from renewable sources, excluding hydroelectric (kWh) did not change 0 on 2020 (from 6.83 million to 6.83 million).
Across the 20 yearly changes before that (2001 to 2020), the average change was +341,500 and a typical year strayed about 1.09 million from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 0.3 standard deviations below that average, so it was an ordinary year: it sits within the range of normal year-to-year movement.
On record, the biggest yearly rise was 4.61 million in 2017 and the biggest yearly fall was 600,000 in 2020. The numbers show how large and when, not why; for the cause, look at what happened in that country in those years.
From 2012 to 2021 the straight-line trend is upward, about 764,121 a year. A straight line explains 74% of the movement over 10 observed years.
Worked out from the yearly values above. How the checks work: standard deviation, z-scores and straight-line trends.
In 2021, American Samoa had the 165th highest value of the 208 economies reporting that year. Higher is not always better: for some indicators the lowest value is the one to aim for. See the full ranking.

Electricity production from renewable sources in kilowatt-hour (kWh), excluding hydroelectric, includes geothermal, solar, tides, wind, biomass, and biofuels.
Limitations: IEA occasionally revises its time series to reflect political changes. For example, the IEA has constructed historical energy statistics for countries of the former Soviet Union. In addition, energy statistics for other countries have undergone continuous changes in coverage or methodology in recent years as more detailed energy accounts have become available. Breaks in series are therefore unavoidable.
Regional and income-group figures are computed by the World Bank as a sum.
