Aruba's energy mix and electricity

🇦🇼 In 2024, Aruba generated 1.00 TWh of electricity. The largest source was oil and other fossil fuels at 83%, followed by wind (14%) and solar (3%). In total, 17% came from low-carbon sources (nuclear and renewables) and 83% from fossil fuels.

On average, each kilowatt hour produced about 550 grams of carbon dioxide (CO₂), above the world average of 458 grams in 2025. That makes Aruba the 112th cleanest of 158 countries that generate at least 1 TWh a year.

Electricity demand was 1.00 TWh. Its electricity imports and exports were roughly in balance.

Since 2000, electricity generation has grown by 28%, from 0.78 TWh. The low-carbon share went from 0% to 17%. The biggest rise was in wind, from 0% to 14% of generation. The biggest fall was in oil and other fossil fuels, from 100% to 83%. Carbon intensity fell from 654 to 550 grams per kWh.

Energy security score

45out of 100

Vulnerable. Aruba ranks 137th of 158 countries and 25th of 29 in Americas. The score shows how well a country could keep electricity affordable and on if fuel supplies were disrupted. It is based on 4 of the 5 measures.

Measure	Score
Produces its own energy No reliable figure exists for Aruba, so this measure is left out and the other four count for more.	n/a
Variety of power sources How evenly generation is spread across nine sources. The largest, oil and other fossil fuels, made 83%.	33
Little reliance on imported power Aruba exported more electricity than it imported, so it scores full marks.	100
Low-carbon power Nuclear and renewables made 17% of generation.	17
Low gas and oil use Gas and oil made 83% of generation; the score is 100 minus that share.	17

The five measures are weighted 30%, 20%, 20%, 15% and 15%. How the score works.
