Analysis# Jamaica Renewable Energy Consumption
Jamaica's renewable energy consumption stood at 10.5% of total energy in 2021, well below its all-time peak of 14.3% in 1993 but above the historic low of 4.8% in 2006. Over the three-decade period from 1990 to 2021, renewable energy's share declined 16.0%, reflecting a challenging trajectory for clean energy integration on the island.
The most significant downturn occurred between 2017 and 2018, when renewable consumption dropped sharply from 11.0% to 8.9%—the lowest point in over a decade. Recovery followed in 2020 with a rebound to 11.7%, though 2021 saw a retreat to 10.5%. Jamaica's renewable energy performance remains volatile, with no consistent upward trend despite global momentum toward clean energy transitions.
