Kuwait Renewable Energy
Renewable energy consumption as % of total EG.FEC.RNEW.ZS

Overview
Kuwait's renewable energy stood at 0.10% in 2021, a rise of +0.00% from 2020. Kuwait ranked 201st globally.
Kuwait’s share of renewable energy in total final consumption stood at 0.10 percent in 2021, placing the country 201st globally and tying it with peers such as Algeria and Oman, which report the same proportion. The indicator has fallen markedly from an early‑stage high of 0.30 percent in 1991, the all‑time peak, to a nadir of 0.00 percent in 2018, before modestly rebounding to the current level. Over the 32‑year coverage period the trend reflects limited diversification away from fossil‑fuel dominance, a pattern shared by other Gulf states that rank similarly in renewable share. The recent uptick, albeit small, suggests nascent policy shifts or investment in solar and wind projects; sustained government incentives and regional cooperation could accelerate the trajectory, moving Kuwait toward a higher renewable contribution in the coming decade.
