Malta Electricity Access
Access to electricity as % of population EG.ELC.ACCS.ZS
Malta's electricity access was 100.00% in 2025, ranked 101st globally. This represents a 0.0% increase from 2024. Data from World Bank, covering 1990–2025.
Overview
Malta's electricity access stood at 100.00% in 2025, a rise of +0.00pp from 2023. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 100.00% by 2025. Malta ranked 101st globally.
Malta has maintained universal electricity access for the entire 35‑year series covered by the World Bank, recording a constant 100.00 % share of the population with electricity from 1990 through the most recent 2025 data point, which also represents the all‑time peak and trough at 100.00 % (World Bank, 2025). This uninterrupted coverage places Malta at rank 101 globally, tied with peers such as North Macedonia, which also reports 100.00 % access. The stability of the indicator reflects the island’s mature power infrastructure, extensive grid investment, and regulatory framework that has prevented any significant service gaps over three decades. While the current level leaves little room for upward improvement, future shifts could arise from the integration of renewable generation, demand‑side management, or regional interconnections that might affect the measurement of “access” if definitions evolve. Monitoring these developments will be essential to gauge whether Malta’s perfect coverage remains static or is re‑characterised by emerging energy policies.
