Greece Electricity Access
Access to electricity as % of population EG.ELC.ACCS.ZS
Greece's electricity access was 100.00% in 2025, ranked 71st globally. This represents a 0.0% increase from 2024. Data from World Bank, covering 1990–2025.
Overview
Greece'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. Greece ranked 71st globally.
Greece has maintained universal electricity access for the entire 35‑year span covered by World Bank data, recording a constant 100.00 % in 1990 and again in the most recent 2025 observation, which also represents the all‑time peak and trough of the series. This uninterrupted coverage places Greece at rank 71 globally, alongside peer jurisdictions such as Gibraltar, Greenland, Georgia and Guam, each reporting identical 100.00 % access rates. The persistence of full electrification reflects the country’s mature grid infrastructure, comprehensive rural extension programmes and alignment with European Union directives that have long mandated universal service. While the indicator shows no variation, future shifts could arise from the integration of renewable micro‑grids, the de‑commissioning of legacy coal plants, or policy reforms targeting energy resilience in isolated islands, potentially altering the trajectory of Greece’s electricity access profile.
