Bahrain: Renewable energy consumption (% of total final energy consumption)

Key figures

What the numbers say

From 2012 to 2021 there is no clear straight-line trend: a straight line explains less than 1% of the movement over 10 observed years, so the value is moving around more than it is heading anywhere.

Worked out from the yearly values above. How the checks work: standard deviation, z-scores and straight-line trends.

How it compares

In 2021, Bahrain had the 138th highest value of the 141 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.
