Bermuda energy mix & electricity
In 2024, Bermuda generated 610 GWh of electricity. The supply is almost entirely oil, which accounted for 98.4% of generation; bioenergy made up most of the remainder (1.6%).
The power system is very small (under 1 TWh a year), so it is not included in share-based world rankings. A single plant can change its mix dramatically from one year to the next.

Bermuda: electricity in context
In 2024, Bermuda generated 610 GWh of electricity. That is similar to Eswatini. The supply is almost entirely oil, which accounted for 98.4% of generation; bioenergy made up most of the remainder (1.6%).
The renewable share stood at 1.6%. This puts it 32 points below the world average of 33.8%. It is also below the average for North America (28.8%). The carbon intensity of electricity is 639 g CO₂e/kWh; the global average is 458 g/kWh. That makes it one of the more carbon-intensive grids in the world.
Meanwhile oil lost the most ground, down 50 GWh. Overall, the renewable share has barely moved over ten years (a change of under one percentage point).
Coal has never been part of the power mix in Bermuda in any meaningful way.
Wind and solar remain marginal in Bermuda, together supplying under 1% of electricity.
Bermuda generates 9,434 kWh of electricity per resident each year, 2.4 times the global average. Bermuda does not trade electricity with other countries: the grid is not interconnected with any neighbour.
