American Samoa Renewable Energy

American Samoa’s share of renewable energy in total final consumption reached 0.48 percent in 2025, placing the territory 69th in the World Bank’s global ranking and marking both the latest figure and the all‑time peak after a 34‑year series that began in 1990 with a recorded value of 0.00 percent. The only previous trough occurred in 2011, when renewable sources again accounted for 0.00 percent of the energy mix, underscoring a prolonged period of negligible renewable contribution. Compared with peer small island economies, the Northern Mariana Islands achieved 1.01 percent and Bermuda 1.09 percent in the same year, highlighting a modest gap that reflects American Samoa’s limited infrastructure and investment in solar, wind or biomass projects. The upward movement from zero to just under half a percent suggests nascent policy attention, yet sustaining and accelerating this trajectory will likely depend on targeted financing, capacity‑building programmes and integration of off‑grid technologies to raise renewable penetration in the coming decade.
