The provided table depicts the data of the production of world energy from renewable sources from 2009 to 2012. The units are measured in Trillion Walt Hours (TWh).
In general, among all the sources, the production from hydropower was the highest throughout the period given whereas the lowest amount of electricity production came from solar in 2009, but in 2012, the lowest spot was overtaken by wind energy.
According to the table, the electricity production from hydraulic power was tremendously higher than other counterparts approximately about 11 times more than the second highest source of energy production which was wind in 2009. However, in 2012, wind energy increased almost double of where it started off; hence, the magnitude of difference between hydraulic and wind became lesser, near sevenfold.
Meanwhile, the production from geothermal and bio-mass remained relatively steady during four years period, especially geothermal - with only an increase from 67. 4 TWh to 70. 4 TWh, whilst the increase of bio-mass was slightly more, with about 20% increase in the end of the period.
Last but no least, the energy source with the most signification jump was solar energy, rose five times in 2012 compared to 2009 figure.
