Oman Electricity Access
Access to electricity as % of population EG.ELC.ACCS.ZS
Oman's electricity access was 100.00% in 2025, ranked 109th globally. This represents a 0.0% increase from 2024. Data from World Bank, covering 1990–2025.
Overview
Oman'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. Oman ranked 109th globally.
Oman has maintained universal electricity access for the entire 35‑year span covered by the World Bank data, recording 100.00 % coverage in both the earliest observation of 1990 and the latest figure for 2025, which also represents the all‑time peak. The only deviation from full coverage occurred in 2006, when access fell to a trough of 99.90 %, but the decline was short‑lived and the country swiftly returned to complete service. This consistency places Oman alongside peers such as New Zealand, Palau and Nauru, all of which also report 100.00 % electricity access, underscoring a regional pattern of near‑universal electrification among high‑ranking nations. The sustained achievement suggests that existing infrastructure and policy frameworks have effectively eliminated gaps in service, and unless disruptive factors such as major economic shifts or climate‑related supply constraints emerge, the trajectory of full electricity access is expected to remain stable in the coming years.
