Belize Renewable Energy
Renewable energy consumption as % of total EG.FEC.RNEW.ZS
Belize's renewable energy was 24.34% in 2025, ranked 28th globally. This represents a 21.0% decrease from 2024. Data from World Bank, covering 1990–2025.
Overview
Belize's renewable energy stood at 24.34% in 2025, a decline of +6.46% from 2022. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 24.34% by 2025. Belize ranked 28th globally.
Belize’s share of renewable energy in total final consumption fell from 38.00 percent in 1990 to a historic low of 23.90 percent in 2001, rebounded to an all‑time peak of 47.90 percent in 2012, and then declined to 24.34 percent in 2025, placing the country at 28th position globally. The 2012 peak coincided with the implementation of several solar‑farm projects and a modest expansion of biomass capacity, yet the subsequent drop reflects the limited scale‑up of wind and hydro resources and growing competition from imported fossil‑fuel electricity. Compared with peers, Belize’s 2025 figure exceeds Comoros (23.41 percent) and Djibouti (29.62 percent) but trails Lesotho (27.56 percent), highlighting a modest but uneven performance within the low‑income group. Continued investment in grid‑integration technologies and regional power‑pool participation could reverse the recent decline and sustain higher renewable shares in the coming decade.
