Observation on data availability/gaps

EC publishes data on unit generated by types of prime movers (e.g., hydro, solar, biogas, biomass). Amount of renewable energy purchased/produced by sector is not available. However, electricity generation data is available but not immediately obvious what type is deemed as renewable energy. Electricity Generation (ktoe) by prime mover (e.g. Hydro, Thermal Stations, Co-Gen) available since 1978 to 2020. Installed Generation Capacity (MW) available as well (from 1990 to 2020) according to Utility (TNB, SESB, SEB, IPP) and then by fuel types (Hydro and non-renewable etc.).
