Share of Electricity Production from Wind

• This resource includes an interactive map and graphs that show the share of electricity production from wind for countries around the world since 1985.
• Data is compiled by Our World Data. It is based on two sources: BP Statistical Review of World Energy and Ember.

Positives

• The interactive provides three different ways for students to explore data (chart, map, table).
• Students may choose to view datasets for various geographic locations and time periods.
• Related research and data are linked.
• The site explains how the data was collected.

Additional Prerequisites

• Learners need to be familiar with the different sources of electricity.
• Educator would need time to get familiar with this interactive media and decide on how to implement it with the learners.

Differentiation

• There are other related interactive maps for other sources of energy. 
• Can be used to create awareness about one or more of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

Variable time span of 35 years is appropriate to conduct time series showing wind energy production trends from different countries. Datasets from BP are accurate, and the resource is recommended for teaching.
