What the numbers say
In 2024, Tajikistan's electricity production from oil, gas and coal sources (% of total) rose 1.84 percentage points on 2023 (from 5.62% to 7.46%).
Across the 30 yearly changes before that (1994 to 2023), the average change was +0.07 percentage points and a typical year strayed about 1.38 percentage points from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 1.3 standard deviations above that average, so it was larger than a typical year, though not out of the range seen before.
On record, the biggest yearly rise was 3.08 percentage points in 2007 and the biggest yearly fall was 2.67 percentage points in 2022. The numbers show how large and when, not why; for the cause, look at what happened in that country in those years.
From 2015 to 2024 there is no clear straight-line trend: a straight line explains 14% 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.

What this measures
The share of electricity production from oil, gas and coal sources of total electricity production. Sources of electricity refer to the inputs used to generate electricity. Oil refers to crude oil and petroleum products. Gas refers to natural gas but excludes natural gas liquids. Coal refers to all coal and brown coal, both primary (including hard coal and lignite-brown coal) and derived fuels (including patent fuel, coke oven coke, gas coke, coke oven gas, and blast furnace gas). Peat is also included in this category.
Regional and income-group figures are computed by the World Bank as a weighted average using total electricity production as weights.
