Angola Renewable Energy
Renewable energy consumption as % of total EG.FEC.RNEW.ZS
Angola's renewable energy was 52.90% in 2021, ranked 44th globally. This represents a 12.0% decrease from 2020. Data from World Bank, covering 1990–2021.
Overview
Angola's renewable energy stood at 52.90% in 2021, a decline of +7.20% from 2020. Angola ranked 44th globally.
Angola’s renewable‑energy share of total final energy consumption fell from 72.30 % in 1990 to a low of 46.80 % in 2013, marking the all‑time trough during a period of rapid expansion in hydro‑carbon production that crowded out cleaner sources. The indicator rebounded to reach an all‑time peak of 76.40 % in 1998, reflecting early investments in hydropower and bioenergy before the oil boom intensified. By 2021 the share had risen again to 52.90 %, placing Angola 44th in the global ranking and closely aligning with peers such as Cambodia (52.40 %) and Papua New Guinea (54.50 %). Over the 32‑year coverage the trend shows a V‑shaped pattern, with the recent recovery driven by modest policy incentives and renewable‑project financing. Continued diversification of the energy mix, greater grid integration and international climate‑finance support could sustain the upward trajectory and move Angola nearer to the renewable shares recorded in the late‑1990s.
