Antigua and Barbuda has exhibited steady progress in electricity access, with the entire population having access to electricity as of 2025, a milestone achieved after a period of incremental improvement. The country's electricity access rate has grown from 95.76% in 1990 to 100.00% in 2025, a notable increase of 4.24 percentage points over the 35-year span. Notably, the trough year of 2005, when only 92.20% of the population had access to electricity, is a significant low point in the country's electricity access history. By comparison, Armenia and Argentina also achieved 100.00% electricity access in 2025, ranking alongside Antigua and Barbuda globally. The recent surge in electricity access is likely to be sustained, given the country's existing infrastructure and continued investment in energy development. However, any significant disruptions to energy production or supply chains could potentially alter this trajectory and impact the country's long-term electricity access goals.
