Mexico Electricity Access
Access to electricity as % of population EG.ELC.ACCS.ZS
Mexico's electricity access was 100.06% in 2025, ranked 26th globally. This represents a 0.4% increase from 2024. Data from World Bank, covering 1992–2025.
Overview
Mexico's electricity access stood at 100.06% in 2025, a rise of +0.36pp from 2023. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 100.06% by 2025. Mexico ranked 26th globally.
Mexico’s electricity access has risen steadily over the 33‑year span from 93.15 % in 1992 to a full 100.06 % in 2025, marking both the all‑time trough and the all‑time peak within the same interval. The 2025 figure places Mexico at 26th globally, matching the coverage rates of peer economies such as Jordan, Turks and Caicos Islands, Dominica and Turkmenistan, all of which also report 100.06 % access. The upward trajectory reflects sustained investment in grid expansion and rural electrification programs that have eliminated the remaining gaps in service. While the current level suggests universal connectivity, the marginal excess above 100 % indicates statistical adjustments rather than genuine over‑coverage, underscoring the importance of maintaining quality and reliability as the next policy focus. Continued upgrades to transmission infrastructure and integration of renewable sources will be pivotal to preserving the near‑perfect access rate and preventing any future backsliding.
