What the numbers say
In 2021, Georgia's electricity production from renewable sources, excluding hydroelectric (kWh) rose 9.82 million on 2020 (from 97 million to 106.82 million).
Across the 30 yearly changes before that (1991 to 2020), the average change was +3.23 million and a typical year strayed about 68.33 million from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 0.1 standard deviations above 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 292.2 million in 2006 and the biggest yearly fall was 184.4 million in 2005. 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 14.8 million a year. A straight line explains 84% of the movement over 10 observed years.

What this measures
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.
