What the numbers say
In 2021, West Bank and Gaza's electricity production from renewable sources, excluding hydroelectric (kWh) rose 45.56 million on 2020 (from 178.72 million to 224.28 million).
Across the 20 yearly changes before that (2001 to 2020), the average change was +8.94 million and a typical year strayed about 18.95 million from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 1.9 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 63.34 million in 2019. 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 24.28 million a year. A straight line explains 85% 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.
