Changes data completely! Not EIA. Just last 5-20 yrs. Past and present
Notes from Asha:
Note: 2015 publication…. But they have 2013 data for global fig. 2014 data for OECD only.

Note from Celina:
- Doubling the share of renewables in the global energy mix by 2030 would increase global GDP by up to 1.1% or USD 1.3 trillion. The report shows that such a transition increases global GDP in 2030 between 0.6% and 1.1%, or between around USD 700 billion and USD 1.3 trillion compared to business as usual. Most of these positive impacts on GDP are driven by the increased investment in renewable energy deployment, which triggers ripple effects throughout the economy. If the doubling of the renewable share is achieved through a higher rate of electrification of final energy uses, the increase in global GDP is even higher, amounting to some 1.1%, or USD 1.3 trillion globally.
Improvements in human well-being and welfare would go far beyond gains in GDP. The benefits of renewables reach well beyond the traditional and limited measurements of economic performance. Doubling the share of renewables by 2030 has a positive impact on global welfare, which increases by 2.7 % compared to a 0.6% GDP improvement. If achieved through higher electrification of heat and transport, global welfare would further rise by 3.7%.
- Doubling the share of renewables increases direct and indirect employment in the sector to 24.4 million by 2030. Renewable energy jobs will grow across all technologies, with a high concentration in the same technologies that account for a majority of the employment today, namely bioenergy, hydropower and solar. Along the renewable energy value chain, most renewable energy jobs will come from fuel supply (bioenergy feedstocks), installations and equipment manufacturing.
- Renewable energy deployment affects trade of energy-related equipment and services as well as of fossil fuels. Trade in renewable energy equipment and other investment goods and services will increase as a result of the scaled-up deployment in power and end-use sectors. At the same time, this will result in a decrease in trade of other energy sources, notably fossil fuels.

So why these different developments between countries.
Its not because of the size of the countries.
So there might be another simple reason: the renewable potential . But look at the potential of these two countries. The lighter it gets the better.
The reason of course are policies and measures that make investments more attractive, innovation/research/development more likely, and the employment of technologies more likely.
The need for robust support mechanisms that give renewables a chance to flourish even faster than they already do.
