Overview
Azerbaijan's renewable energy stood at 1.30% in 2021, a rise of +0.00% from 2020. Azerbaijan ranked 183rd globally.
Azerbaijan's renewable energy sector has experienced limited growth since 1990, with the latest data indicating a share of 1.30% of the country's total energy mix in 2021. This figure falls short of international averages, ranking Azerbaijan 183rd globally. Notably, the country's all-time peak in renewable energy production occurred in 2010, reaching 4.40% of the total energy mix, but since then, the sector has declined. This stagnation is in contrast to its peer, the Maldives, which boasts a significantly higher share of renewable energy, at 1.40% in 2021. Azerbaijan's underdevelopment in this sector can be attributed to a reliance on fossil fuels for energy production. To alter this trajectory, the government would need to prioritize investments in renewable energy infrastructure and implement policies to incentivize the adoption of cleaner energy sources.
