Tuvalu Electricity Access
Access to electricity as % of population EG.ELC.ACCS.ZS
Tuvalu's electricity access was 100.24% in 2025, ranked 17th globally. This represents a 0.2% increase from 2024. Data from World Bank, covering 2000–2025.
Overview
Tuvalu's electricity access stood at 100.24% in 2025, a rise of +0.24pp from 2023. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 100.24% by 2025. Tuvalu ranked 17th globally.
Tuvalu’s electricity‑access rate has risen steadily over the 25‑year span from 94.60 % in 2000 to a full 100.24 % in 2025, marking both the latest figure and the all‑time peak for the small Pacific nation. The modest trough recorded in 2002 at 94.60 % reflects the early stage of grid expansion, after which successive investments in renewable micro‑grids and diesel‑generator upgrades lifted coverage above the regional average. By 2025 Tuvalu tied with Morocco at 100.24 % and marginally surpassed Costa Rica’s 100.20 % and Viet Nam’s 100.20 % while remaining just below Algeria’s 100.32 %, underscoring its competitive standing among diverse economies. The upward trajectory suggests that continued diversification toward solar and wind installations could sustain universal access, but any disruption to fuel imports or climate‑related damage to infrastructure could reverse the gains. Maintaining the current policy focus is likely to keep the coverage at or near full electrification in the coming years.
