Renewable Energy Consumption: Dominica

Analysis# Dominica Renewable Energy Consumption Dominica's renewable energy consumption stood at 8.9% of total energy in 2022, a modest figure that reflects decades of decline. The country peaked at 20.9% in 1996, demonstrating a dramatic 39% drop over the three-decade period from 1990 to 2022. The all-time low of 7.5% occurred in 2009, with current levels hovering only 1.4 percentage points above that trough. The 2009–2022 period reveals a slight recovery trajectory, though one marked by volatility rather than sustained growth. After hitting bottom in 2009, renewable consumption gradually rebounded, stabilizing around 8.6–8.9% between 2020 and 2022. This modest upward movement suggests renewed interest in renewable sources, yet Dominica remains far below its historical 1990s performance, indicating substantial potential for energy transition acceleration.
