Analysis# Kiribati Renewable Energy Consumption
Kiribati's renewable energy consumption stood at 41.9% of total energy in 2022, marking a significant decline from its 1990 peak of 64%. Over the 32-year period, the nation has lost 34.5 percentage points of renewable energy reliance. The current figure also represents an all-time low in the measured data range, reflecting a steady erosion of renewable energy's share in the country's energy portfolio.
A sharp inflection point occurred around 2016–2017. Between 2013 and 2016, renewable consumption held relatively stable near 48%, but dropped to 42.5% in 2017 and has remained flat ever since. The plateau at approximately 42% throughout 2018–2022 suggests either structural shifts in energy infrastructure or increased fossil fuel dependency. Without intervention, Kiribati's renewable energy share appears unlikely to recover to historical levels without deliberate policy shifts or technological investment.
