Analysis# Burkina Faso Renewable Energy Consumption
Burkina Faso derived 71.4% of its total energy consumption from renewable sources in 2022, marking a significant decline from its all-time peak of 86.4% in 1992. Despite remaining near its recent low of 71.2% (2021), the country's renewable energy share has fallen 17.3 percentage points over the past three decades. This trajectory reflects a broader shift in energy composition rather than a collapse in renewable capacity.
From 2013 to 2022, renewable energy consumption declined steadily from 78.7% to 71.4%, with the steepest drop occurring between 2016 and 2019. The decline mirrors Burkina Faso's increasing reliance on fossil fuels and growing energy demand. The stabilization around 71% in 2021–2022 suggests the downward pressure may be plateauing, though reversing this trend would require substantial investment in renewable infrastructure expansion.
