Gibraltar's fossil fuel energy consumption (% of total) was 0% in 2024, the latest year in the World Bank's World Development Indicators. That is unchanged since 2019.
Key figures
| Value | Year | |
|---|---|---|
| Latest | 0% | 2024 |
| Five years earlier | 0% | 2019 |
| Highest | 83.22% | 2000 |
| Lowest | 0% | 2016 |
| Average since 2016 | 0% | 2016–2024 |
| First recorded | 72.36% | 1990 |
Over five years it is unchanged since 2019. Since 1990 it is down 72.36 percentage points from 72.36% in 1990. The World Bank has no value for 15 of the years in between; the chart leaves those gaps open rather than joining across them.
What the numbers say
In 2024, Gibraltar's fossil fuel energy consumption (% of total) did not change 0 percentage points on 2023 (from 0% to 0%).
Across the 17 yearly changes before that (1991 to 2023), the average change was +0.64 percentage points and a typical year strayed about 1.29 percentage points from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 0.5 standard deviations below 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 4.39 percentage points in 1991 and the biggest yearly fall was 0.28 percentage points in 1995. The numbers show how large and when, not why; for the cause, look at what happened in that country in those years.
From 2016 to 2024 there is no clear straight-line trend: a straight line explains less than 1% of the movement over 9 observed years, so the value is moving around more than it is heading anywhere.
Worked out from the yearly values above. How the checks work: standard deviation, z-scores and straight-line trends.
How it compares

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.
