Analysis# Gambia, The Renewable Energy Consumption
Gambia's renewable energy consumption stood at 47.7% of total energy in 2022, near its all-time low of 47.4% recorded in 2019. This represents a significant decline from the country's peak of 63.5% in 1992, marking a total decrease of 23.1 percentage points over the three-decade span from 1990 to 2022. The nation's renewable energy share has contracted steadily, with only modest fluctuations interrupting the downward trend.
The most notable shift occurred between 2013 and 2019, when renewable consumption dropped from 59.3% to 47.4%—a six-year decline of 11.9 percentage points. A brief recovery in 2020 pushed the figure to 49.8%, but momentum did not persist; 2021 and 2022 saw renewed contraction to 48.6% and 47.7% respectively. Current trajectory suggests Gambia's renewable energy share remains under sustained pressure, with little indication of reversal in the near term.
