We have witnessed an increasing trend in consumption of hydro electricity in world from 2012 to 2018. However compound annual growth rate of 2.21% has been observed in consumption of hydro electricity in world during the period under consideration.

Consumption of hydro electricity was 832.1 million tonnes oil equivalent in world during 2012. It has spiked by 3.26% to 859.2 million tonnes oil equivalent during 2013 over 2012. We have seen annual growth of 72 basis points in consumption of hydro electricity in world during 2017 from 913.3 million tonnes oil equivalent during 2016. Consumption of hydro electricity was 948.8 million tonnes oil equivalent in world during 2018, up by 3.14% against 919.9 million tonnes oil equivalent during 2017.

The maximum annual growth of 3.41% has been found in 2016 in consumption of hydro electricity in world during the period under consideration.
