Missing a verb

Nuclear power the greatest change: in 1990 it was 10%, twice that of the 1980s.

I feel like there seems to be a verb missing from the phrase at the beginning. My remedy is:

Nuclear power displays/shows the greatest change: ...

Do you have better ones? Thanks a lot.

Hi,

Yes, there is.

My remedy is:

Nuclear power displays/shows the greatest change: ... Fine.

I assume the context explains what kind of change you are talking about, eg 10% of what.
