Montenegro Renewable Energy
Renewable energy consumption as % of total EG.FEC.RNEW.ZS
Montenegro's renewable energy was 39.60% in 2021, ranked 60th globally. This represents a 0.0% increase from 2020. Data from World Bank, covering 2005–2021.
Overview
Montenegro's renewable energy stood at 39.60% in 2021, a rise of +0.00% from 2020. Montenegro ranked 60th globally.
Montenegro’s share of renewable energy in total final consumption fell from 47.60 percent in 2005 to a low of 37.80 percent in 2017, marking the all‑time trough, before modestly recovering to 39.60 percent in 2021, a level that placed the country 60th globally. The peak of 49.30 percent recorded in 2013 underscores a period when policy incentives and investment in hydro and wind projects were most effective, yet the subsequent decline suggests that those measures were not sustained. Compared with Denmark, whose renewable share stood at 39.50 percent in the same year, Montenegro is marginally higher, but both remain well below the European Union average, highlighting a regional gap in clean‑energy transition. The 17‑year coverage reveals a volatile trajectory rather than a steady climb, implying that future progress will depend on the consistency of fiscal support, grid integration upgrades and the ability to attract private capital to expand renewable capacity.
