Access to electricity as % of population EG.ELC.ACCS.ZS
French Polynesia's electricity access was 100.00% in 2025, ranked 115th globally. This represents a 0.0% increase from 2024. Data from World Bank, covering 1990–2025.
Overview
French Polynesia's electricity access stood at 100.00% in 2025, a rise of +0.00pp from 2023. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 100.00% by 2025. French Polynesia ranked 115th globally.
French Polynesia has maintained universal electricity access for the entire 35‑year span of World Bank reporting, with the latest 2025 figure recorded at 100.00 % and ranking 115th globally. This level matches the earliest observation in 1990, indicating no measurable fluctuation; the all‑time peak and trough both occurred in 2025 at the same 100.00 % value. The consistency places French Polynesia alongside peers such as West Bank and Gaza, Qatar, Portugal and Romania, each also reporting full coverage. The absence of historical variation suggests that the territory’s electricity infrastructure has been sufficiently robust to meet demand across decades, likely supported by a combination of diesel‑generated power and growing renewable projects. Maintaining this status will depend on continued investment in grid resilience, especially as climate‑related risks rise and the push for renewable integration intensifies, which could shape future coverage dynamics.
