Seems like the DPRK is struggling to find more coal. They are producing more energy than ever from alternate sources, but the transition is not going fast enough. Any more positive explanation for this?

    Few thoughts. I dont see wind and solar on the actual graph even tho its in the key. Is it just very low, or not shown? Also the way there are sharp spikes and then drop off is a bit strange. Makes me think they are using lots of energy doing something that then reduces their energy needs going forward. Perhaps working to make energy use more efficient. Un-networked solar panels on individual homes and buildings are likely not being counted too as it would be very hard to track. Perhaps a move to decentralization of power production?

      That makes a lot of sense, and much more than simply producing less energy for no particular reason. And yes, they are just producing very little networked solar/wind energy, it is on the graph.
