Samoa Renewable Energy
Renewable energy consumption as % of total EG.FEC.RNEW.ZS
Samoa's renewable energy was 35.86% in 2025, ranked 24th globally. This represents a 0.1% decrease from 2024. Data from World Bank, covering 1990–2025.
Overview
Samoa's renewable energy stood at 35.86% in 2025, a decline of +0.04% from 2022. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 35.86% by 2025. Samoa ranked 24th globally.
Samoa's renewable energy reliance has exhibited significant fluctuations over the past three and a half decades. Following an all-time peak of 64.00% in 1990, the country's renewable energy usage declined to an all-time trough of 34.20% in 2019, before recovering to 35.86% by 2025. This trajectory contrasts with that of Kiribati, which maintained a relatively stable ranking of 41.76% over the same period. Notably, Samoa's renewable energy usage has been surpassed by several Pacific Island nations, including São Tomé and Principe, which achieved a ranking of 43.82% in 2025. With a recent uptick in renewable energy usage, Samoa's trajectory suggests a gradual recovery from its historic low. However, continued investment in renewable energy infrastructure and policy support would be necessary to sustain and accelerate this trend, potentially altering the trajectory of Samoa's energy mix in the coming years.
