Renewable energy consumption as % of total EG.FEC.RNEW.ZS
Lithuania's renewable energy was 33.20% in 2021, ranked 73rd globally. This represents a 4.7% increase from 2020. Data from World Bank, covering 1990–2021.
Overview
Lithuania's renewable energy stood at 33.20% in 2021, a rise of +1.50% from 2020. Lithuania ranked 73rd globally.
Lithuania’s share of renewable energy in total final consumption rose from a modest 3.10 percent in 1990 to 33.20 percent in 2021, placing the country at rank 73 globally. The upward trajectory accelerated after the early‑1990s trough of 2.90 percent in 1991, reaching an all‑time peak of 33.80 percent in 2017 before a slight dip to the 2021 level. This progression mirrors the rapid expansion observed in peer nations such as Croatia, which recorded 34.10 percent, and contrasts with lower‑performing peers like South Sudan at 32.40 percent. The 32‑year coverage shows that policy incentives, grid integration and EU directives have collectively driven the shift toward wind, solar and biomass. Continued investment in storage technologies and cross‑border interconnections could sustain the upward momentum, potentially pushing Lithuania’s renewable share beyond the 2027 target of 40 percent.
