Analysis# Vanuatu Renewable Energy Consumption
Vanuatu derived 25% of its total energy consumption from renewable sources in 2022, marking a significant decline from its 2004 peak of 55.4%. The country has lost 9.4 percentage points since 1990, though it remains above its all-time low of 24.6% in 2021. This downward shift reflects structural changes in Vanuatu's energy profile over three decades.
A sharp drop occurred between 2013 and 2014, when renewable consumption fell from 40.9% to 31.5%—a consequence of increased diesel-fired power generation. The subsequent years showed volatile fluctuations between 29.7% and 35.7%, with no clear recovery trajectory. The 2021-2022 period suggests stabilization near 25%, indicating Vanuatu's renewable energy share may have plateaued at roughly one-quarter of total consumption absent significant infrastructure investment.
