The line graph illustrates the amount of energy generated from three renewable sources—wind, solar, and hydropower—in Qatar over a one-year period.
Overall, it is evident that hydropower was the most dominant source of renewable energy throughout the year, while wind and solar contributed significantly less. Although wind and solar energy followed similar trends at times, solar experienced more dramatic fluctuations.
Hydropower began the year at around 800 TWh, then declined slightly to 600 TWh in February. From March to May, it saw a substantial increase, peaking at 1300 TWh. However, this was followed by a sharp drop to 700 TWh in June. Over the next few months, hydropower showed a moderate rise, reaching 1100 TWh in August before declining again to 700 TWh in October. In November, it surged to its highest point of the year at 1500 TWh, before falling back to 800 TWh in December.
Wind energy started high at 800 TWh in January but experienced a general decline, fluctuating between 300 and 500 TWh for the rest of the year. Its lowest levels were observed in October and December, both at around 200 TWh.
Solar energy, on the other hand, began at approximately 300 TWh in January and dropped to zero in February—the lowest value recorded for any source in the year. From March to August, solar output steadily increased, peaking at 700 TWh, before experiencing a sharp decline toward the end of the year, finishing just above zero in December.
