Haiti Renewable Energy
Renewable energy consumption as % of total EG.FEC.RNEW.ZS
Haiti's renewable energy was 76.70% in 2021, ranked 21st globally. This represents a 0.5% increase from 2020. Data from World Bank, covering 1990–2021.
Overview
Haiti's renewable energy stood at 76.70% in 2021, a rise of +0.40% from 2020. Haiti ranked 21st globally.
Haiti’s share of renewable energy in total final energy consumption fell from 87.20 percent in 1990 to a low of 76.10 percent in 2016, marking the all‑time trough for the 32‑year series, before rising modestly to 76.70 percent in 2021, which placed the country at 21st position globally. The peak of 96.70 percent recorded in 1994 reflects a period when hydro‑electric and biomass sources dominated the energy mix, but subsequent decades saw a gradual shift toward fossil‑fuel imports and limited investment in new renewable capacity. Haiti’s 2021 level is comparable to Mozambique’s 76.90 percent and slightly above Togo’s 75.10 percent, indicating that the nation remains clustered with other low‑income economies that rely heavily on traditional renewables. Continued expansion of solar and wind projects, supported by international financing and policy reforms, could reverse the modest decline and push the renewable share beyond the current plateau in the coming years.
