Fiji Electricity Access
Access to electricity as % of population EG.ELC.ACCS.ZS
Fiji's electricity access was 95.84% in 2025, ranked 156th globally. This represents a 3.5% decrease from 2024. Data from World Bank, covering 1996–2025.
Overview
Fiji's electricity access stood at 95.84% in 2025, a decline of +3.46pp from 2023. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 95.84% by 2025. Fiji ranked 156th globally.
Fiji’s share of the population with access to electricity rose from 66.90% in 1996, the lowest point in the series, to 95.84% in 2025, placing the nation at 156th globally. The upward trajectory peaked in 2023 at 99.30%, indicating that the most recent slight dip reflects a modest reversal rather than a structural setback. Over the 29‑year coverage period, Fiji’s progress has outpaced many small island states; for example, Grenada recorded 95.18% in 2025, while Pakistan and Gabon hovered just above 96%, suggesting that Fiji is competitive among peers with similar rankings. The sustained expansion of the grid and renewable‑energy projects have been central to closing the access gap, yet the recent decline hints at vulnerabilities such as aging infrastructure or supply‑chain constraints. Continued investment in modern distribution networks and diversification of generation sources will be crucial to sustain the high‑access levels and potentially return to the 2023 peak.
