Analysis# Guinea Renewable Energy Consumption
Guinea derived 66.6% of its total energy from renewable sources in 2022, marking a substantial decline from its 1995 peak of 90%. The country has lost 25.6 percentage points since 1990, with the lowest point occurring in 2020 at 65.8%. Despite this downward arc, renewable energy still represents the dominant share of Guinea's energy mix, reflecting the nation's abundant hydroelectric and biomass resources.
The most significant shift occurred between 2013 and 2020, when renewable consumption fell from 78.5% to 65.8%—a sharp 12.7-point drop in seven years. This decline coincided with Guinea's expanding fossil fuel capacity and increased industrial demand. Since hitting bottom in 2020, the trend has stabilized, hovering near 66-67% through 2022, suggesting the steepest declines may have plateaued.
