Renewable Energy Consumption: Central African Republic

Analysis# Central African Republic Renewable Energy Consumption The Central African Republic derived 90.9% of its total energy consumption from renewable sources in 2022, reflecting a strong reliance on clean energy. This figure sits slightly below the nation's all-time peak of 95.1% in 2013 and well above the lowest recorded level of 88.9% in 2000. Over the three-decade span from 1990 to 2022, renewable energy consumption has declined by 3.2 percentage points overall. A notable downturn began after 2013, with renewable energy's share dropping steadily through 2019—from 95.1% to 91.3%. The decline stabilized between 2020 and 2022, holding constant at 90.9%. This plateau suggests the country has reached a new equilibrium in its energy mix, though the sustained high percentage indicates continued dominance of renewable sources in the nation's energy portfolio.
