What the numbers say
In 2022, Liechtenstein's renewable energy consumption (% of total final energy consumption) rose 3.3 percentage points on 2021 (from 53.6% to 56.9%).
Across the 30 yearly changes before that (1992 to 2021), the average change was −0.21 percentage points and a typical year strayed about 1.6 percentage points from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 2.2 standard deviations above that average, so it was unusually large compared with the rest of the record.
On record, the biggest yearly rise was 3.3 percentage points in 2022 and the biggest yearly fall was 5 percentage points in 1991. 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 there is no clear straight-line trend: a straight line explains 12% 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.
