Overview
Kiribati's energy use per capita stood at 108 in 2007, a rise of +8 from 2006. Kiribati ranked 6th globally.
Kiribati’s energy use per capita rose from 95.02 kilowatt‑hours in 1990 to a peak of 107.77 kilowatt‑hours in 2007, placing the nation sixth in the world in that year. The upward trajectory was interrupted by a trough of 81.60 kilowatt‑hours in 2005, after which consumption rebounded sharply within the two‑year span covered by the data. Compared with regional peers, Kiribati’s 2007 level exceeds The Gambia’s 75.32 kilowatt‑hours but remains below Niger’s 125.87 kilowatt‑hours, reflecting a modest but consistent increase in per‑capita energy intensity despite the country’s limited industrial base and reliance on imported fuels. The pattern suggests that continued improvements in electricity access and the gradual integration of renewable sources, such as solar and wind, could sustain the recent gains, while any reversal in global fuel prices or setbacks in infrastructure development might dampen the upward trend.
