Renewable Energy Consumption: Saint Vincent and the Grenadines

Analysis# Saint Vincent and the Grenadines Renewable Energy Consumption Saint Vincent and the Grenadines derived 5.1% of its total energy from renewable sources in 2022, down significantly from its 1990 peak of 15.4%. The country has experienced a steep 66.9% decline over this three-decade period, reflecting a broader shift away from renewable energy reliance. The all-time low of 3.3% occurred in 2014, representing a critical turning point in the nation's energy trajectory. Since hitting that 2014 nadir, renewable energy consumption has stabilized in the 5% range, fluctuating between 4.1% and 5.4% annually from 2015 onward. This modest recovery suggests the country has found a floor, though it remains well below historical levels. Without significant policy intervention or infrastructure investment, the data indicates renewable energy will likely maintain this plateau rather than return to its early 1990s prominence.
