Renewable Energy Share by Country (2026)

The three highest countries are DR Congo (96.3), Somalia (95.4), Liberia (92.8); the three lowest are Sint Maarten (0), Qatar (0), Gibraltar (0).

Across all 212 countries the median is 20.1 % of final energy and the simple (unweighted) average is 29.1; the spread from 0 to 96.3 shows how differently countries fare on this measure.

Over roughly the last decade the biggest increases were in Bosnia and Herzegovina (+22.4 pts), Venezuela (+18.9 pts), Luxembourg (+16.7 pts), while the largest decreases were in Comoros (-29 pts), Tajikistan (-25.1 pts), Myanmar (-20.9 pts).

By continent, the leaders are Bhutan in Asia (82.5), Iceland in Europe (82.4), DR Congo in Africa (96.3), Haiti in North America (76.7), Paraguay in South America (58.8), Papua New Guinea in Oceania (54.6).

Renewable energy consumption is the share of renewables (hydro, wind, solar, geothermal, biomass and biofuels) in total final energy consumption. Many low-income countries rank high because of traditional biomass (wood and charcoal) rather than modern renewables.
