Antigua and Barbuda: Renewable energy consumption (% of total final energy consumption)

Key figures

What the numbers say

In 2022, Antigua and Barbuda's renewable energy consumption (% of total final energy consumption) did not change 0 percentage points on 2021 (from 0.9% to 0.9%).

Across the 30 yearly changes before that (1992 to 2021), the average change was +0.03 percentage points and a typical year strayed about 0.08 percentage points from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 0.4 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 0.3 percentage points in 2015. The numbers show how large and when, not why; for the cause, look at what happened in that country in those years.

From 2013 to 2022 the straight-line trend is upward, about 0.1 percentage points a year. A straight line explains 93% 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.

A straight-line projection, tested first

Extending that straight line gives about 1.23% for 2025. We show this only because the same method, fitted on earlier years, predicted 2020 to 2022 better than "no change" would have: its average miss was 0.11%, against 0.2% for assuming no change. Treat it as a continuation of the recent pattern, not a forecast of events: it cannot see a recession, a policy change or a revision to the data.
