What the numbers say
In 2024, Caribbean small states' fossil fuel energy consumption (% of total) rose 0.16 percentage points on 2023 (from 99.07% to 99.22%).
Across the 30 yearly changes before that (1994 to 2023), the average change was −0 percentage points and a typical year strayed about 3.12 percentage points from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 0.1 standard deviations above that average, so it was an ordinary year: it sits within the range of normal year-to-year movement.
On record, the biggest yearly rise was 22.24 percentage points in 1991 and the biggest yearly fall was 22.18 percentage points in 1990. The numbers show how large and when, not why; for the cause, look at what happened in that country in those years.
From 2015 to 2024 the straight-line trend is downward, about 0.03 percentage points a year. A straight line explains 67% of the movement over 10 observed years.

What this measures
Fossil fuel comprises coal, oil, petroleum, and natural gas products.
Limitations: The IEA makes these estimates in consultation with national statistical offices, oil companies, electric utilities, and national energy experts. The IEA occasionally revises its time series to reflect political changes, and energy statistics undergo continual changes in coverage or methodology as more detailed energy accounts become available. Breaks in series are therefore unavoidable.
Regional and income-group figures are computed by the World Bank as a weighted average.
