Renewable energy (% of final energy use)

What is this?

Share of energy used that comes from renewable sources, including firewood and charcoal.

How to read it

  • High values in Mozambique mainly reflect biomass use, not modern renewables.
  • Unit: %.

What does the data say?

Renewable energy (% of final energy use) (Mozambique) is 76.9 % (2021), 16.10 points lower than in 1990. It is the lowest in the period shown.

Over all 32 observations since 1990, the highest was 94.2 (1991) and the lowest 76.9 (2021).

The latest observation is from 2021; the source has not published anything newer.

Why does it matter?

  • Households: Most cooking uses firewood and charcoal.
  • Businesses: Energy mix.
  • Government: Forest pressure.
  • Investors: Energy transition.
  • Mobile money: Indirect.
