Useful OECD source ?

A lot of work went into this assembling 2016 figures from IEA and IRENA, and a template has been added for an update. Many of the IEA data series require a paid or unpaid subscription. For OECD (and some non-OECD) countries, a more flexible data source may be https://data.oecd.org/energy/renewable-energy.htm . That page gives total renewables and as a percentage of total primary energy, and total electricity generation. Maybe not directly comparable, but could perhaps be added as an external link. --Cedders^tk 21:52, 6 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Paraguay Hydropower column wrong

Somebody messed up with the columns of Paraguay's hydro. It says Hydro is 99.8% of the renewable energies and 100% of all energies. That makes no sense. The left column value (% of total) cannot be higher than the right column value (% of RE). It doesn't make mathematical sense. 12qwas (talk) 17:45, 18 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Luxembourg is even worse, it says hydro is 335.5% of renewable electricity, Serbia has hydro as 106% and Ukraine as 100.2% - something is apparently wrong with the input data. GSV What Are The Civilian Applications (talk) 15:57, 29 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Update Tables Help

Hi Support

This accurate data a little different as doesn't breakdown in solar/wind/geothermal but does say how much of it is renewable per country

Hopefully there is someone who can use the RENA tools better than me to

But here is my attempt to assist

Complete refresh

I have updated all the data, pruned many columns, and changed the table templates.

Many of the columns had to go in order to get an object that is easy to read and fits on the screen. Three columns per source is too many. That kind of detail belongs on each source's country list, such as Wind power by country.

I also add a default sort, the percent that is renewable. Wizmut (talk) 16:43, 19 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Data presented in a deceiving way

The data is presented in misleading way by showing renewables as % of produced energy not as % of consumed electric energy. This makes some countries that import large % of electricity look very "clean" for example, Luxemburg with 89.0% in the table looks like one of the cleanest countries in the world while in reality it imports almost all electric energy mostly fossil energy from Germany and it's one of the worst countries in the world when it comes to CO2 emission from electric energy consumption. Albania with 100% renewable production looks super clean while in reality it imports around 20% from Greece and Serbia where majority is generated using dirty lignite. 203.32.246.170 (talk) 09:39, 6 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
