Renewable power capacity
Installed capacity of solar, onshore wind, biomass and hydro power in operation per resident, where the units stand. Capacity, not generation: a kilowatt of wind yields about twice as much electricity in a year as a kilowatt of solar. Over time: the units in operation at the end of each year, the last point at the register’s newest state, per resident of 2023. Wind turbines taken down before the register began (2019) are often missing: the early years are too low, before 2010 markedly.
