Liberia Renewable Energy
Renewable energy consumption as % of total EG.FEC.RNEW.ZS
Liberia's renewable energy was 92.77% in 2025, ranked 2nd globally. This represents a 0.0% decrease from 2024. Data from World Bank, covering 1990–2025.
Overview
Liberia's renewable energy stood at 92.77% in 2025, a decline of +0.03% from 2022. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 92.77% by 2025. Liberia ranked 2nd globally.
Liberia’s renewable‑energy share of total electricity generation has risen steadily since the earliest World Bank observation in 1990 (89.10 percent) and now stands at 92.77 percent in 2025, placing the country second globally. The upward trajectory peaked in 2018 at 94.40 percent, while the lowest point occurred in 2012 with 86.20 percent, reflecting the impact of post‑conflict reconstruction and expanding off‑grid solar programmes. Over a 34‑year span, Liberia’s progress outpaces many regional peers; for example, Uganda recorded 91.55 percent in the same year, and the Central African Republic posted 90.38 percent. The consistency of high renewable penetration suggests that continued investment in grid‑integration technologies and policy support could sustain the current momentum, potentially moving Liberia closer to full renewable coverage in the coming decade.
