Overview
Virgin Islands (US)'s renewable energy stood at 5.89% in 2025, a decline of +0.01% from 2022. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 5.89% by 2025. Virgin Islands (US) ranked 50th globally.
Virgin Islands (U.S.) has expanded its renewable‑energy share from a low of 0.50 % in 2000, the all‑time trough, to 5.89 % in 2025, placing it at rank 50 worldwide. The upward trajectory accelerated after 2000, reaching an all‑time peak of 6.20 % in 2019 before a modest decline to the current level. Over the 34‑year coverage period, the territory’s renewable share grew more than elevenfold, outpacing Equatorial Guinea’s 3.92 % but remaining below peers such as Barbados (6.45 %) and French Polynesia (6.75 %). The modest dip from the 2019 peak suggests vulnerability to policy shifts or external shocks, yet the long‑run pattern indicates continued progress. Strengthening incentives for solar and wind installations and integrating grid‑scale storage could sustain the upward momentum and potentially restore the pre‑2020 peak in the coming years.
