Grenada energy mix & electricity
In 2024, Grenada generated 240 GWh of electricity. The supply is entirely oil (100%).
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.

Grenada: electricity in context
In 2024, Grenada generated 240 GWh of electricity. That puts it in the same league as Saint Kitts and Nevis. The supply is entirely oil (100%).
Renewables supplied 0% of the electricity. That is 34 points below the world average of 33.8%. It is also below the average for North America (28.8%). Generating one kWh emits about 667 g CO₂e here (world average: 458 g). This is one of the more carbon-intensive grids in the world.
The decade’s big winner is oil, up 40 GWh between 2014 and 2024 (plus 0 percentage points of the mix). Overall, the renewable share has barely moved over ten years (a change of under one percentage point). Carbon intensity, however, rose from 650 to 667 g/kWh (+3%).
Coal has essentially never been burned for electricity here: its share has stayed below 1% throughout the record.
Wind and solar have barely started in Grenada: combined, they produce less than 1% of the power.
Generation per person is 2,048 kWh a year, 53% of the world average of 3,860 kWh. Grenada does not trade electricity with other countries: the grid is not interconnected with any neighbour.
