Band 7+: The charts below show changes in the proportion of the energy produced from different resources in a country in 1985 and 2003. Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.

The data illustrate transformations in the percentage of the energy produced from several resources in a country in 1985 and 2003.

Overall, it is clear that the proportion of oil recorded the highest figure, while other renewable demonstrated the opposite trend.

In 1985, the proportion of the energy produced from oil represented the dominant figure, at 52%, well ahead of nuclear, which stood at 22%. The percentage of natural gas occupied the third position with 13%,compared with coal which came next with just 8%. The proportion of the energy produced from hydro accounted for 4%,comparing with other renewable recorded the lowest figure,at a mere 1%.

By 2003,the most pronounced change was observed in oil, which decreased markedly, from 52% to 39%, remaining the highest figure, while the proportion of natural gas experienced the opposite trend, rising from 13% to 23%.The percentage of coal underwent a growth, from 8% to 22%, whereas the proportion of the energy produced from nuclear decreased, falling from 22% to 8%. The percentage of the energy produced from other renewable experienced an increase, rising from 1% to 4%,whereas hydro remained stable over the timeframe, remaining the lowest categories.
