In an island territory, electricity is generated using both fossil fuels (non-renewable) and renewable energy resources.
The graph in Figure 1 shows the annual amount of electricity generated by these two types of resources from 2012 to 2024.
Explain how and why the amount of electricity generated by fossil fuels and renewable energy resources changed from 2012 to 2024.
Your answer should include:
- a description of the trends shown in Figure 1, using data from the graph
- reasons for the decrease in fossil fuel use
- reasons for the increase in renewable energy use
