Analysis# Samoa Renewable Energy Consumption
Samoa's renewable energy consumption stood at 35.9% of total energy in 2022, representing a modest recovery from its 2019 low of 34.2%. This marks a dramatic decline from the country's 1990 peak of 64%, reflecting a 43.9% decrease over three decades. The gap between historical highs and current levels underscores a fundamental shift in Samoa's energy portfolio during the past 30 years.
The period from 2013 to 2019 saw accelerating decline, dropping from 42.6% to 34.2% before stabilizing around 35–36% through 2022. Recent years suggest a potential plateau, with renewable consumption hovering consistently near the 36% mark. Whether this represents genuine stabilization or a temporary pause in the longer downward trend remains an open question for Samoa's energy planners.
