What the numbers say
In 2021, St. Martin (French part)'s electricity production from oil, gas and coal sources (% of total) fell 0.13 percentage points on 2020 (from 99.31% to 99.19%).
Across the 20 yearly changes before that (2001 to 2020), the average change was −0.03 percentage points and a typical year strayed about 0.48 percentage points from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 0.2 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 1.31 percentage points in 2017 and the biggest yearly fall was 1.15 percentage points in 2013. 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 there is no clear straight-line trend: a straight line explains 5% of the movement over 10 observed years, so the value is moving around more than it is heading anywhere.
