Insufficient history — only one observation, so there is no trend yet.
Measured value over time. Its norm (80.0 % of gross electricity consumption) is far off this scale, marked at the top edge, so the series stays worse than normal throughout — the deviation badge shows the gap.
Each driver linked to this indicator, strongest pull first, on the same timeline above. Markers are the facts that moved that driver. These are modelled influences — treat them as correlational unless a documented causal edge is shown.
Germany's wind and solar additions are the principal driver lifting its renewable electricity share toward the 80% target.
