Overview

Brunei Darussalam has consistently maintained universal electricity access since 1990, with 100.00% of the population having access to electricity as of 2025, ranking 49th globally. Notably, this level of access has been sustained unabated throughout the 35-year period, with no recorded decline or peak, suggesting a stable and reliable electricity infrastructure. This achievement is comparable to that of peer countries Barbados and Canada, which also boast 100.00% electricity access, and Bhutan, which has made significant strides in electrifying its population in recent years. The consistent and high level of electricity access in Brunei Darussalam indicates a strong foundation for economic growth and development. However, the increasing demand for electricity driven by population growth and economic expansion may strain the existing infrastructure, necessitating investments in the electricity sector to maintain the current level of access.
