What the numbers say
In 2021, Micronesia, Fed. Sts.'s electricity production from renewable sources, excluding hydroelectric (kWh) did not change 0% on 2020 (from 3.16 million to 3.16 million).
Across the 20 yearly changes before that (2001 to 2020), the average change was +20.9% and a typical year strayed about 36.3% from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 0.6 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 130.3% in 2009 and the biggest yearly fall was 6.5% in 2018. 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 286,121 a year. A straight line explains 86% of the movement over 10 observed years.

A straight-line projection, tested first
Extending that straight line gives about 4.4 million for 2024. We show this only because the same method, fitted on earlier years, predicted 2019 to 2021 better than "no change" would have: its average miss was 264,758, against 420,000 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.

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.
