Analysis
Bangladesh recorded 2.6 terawatt-hours for primary energy from low-carbon energy in 2025. That is the highest value across all 61 years on record.
The figure is up 9.3% on the previous year and up 106.5% over ten years.
Over the whole period, primary energy from low-carbon energy in Bangladesh peaked at 2.6 terawatt-hours in 2025 and was at its lowest, 0 terawatt-hours, in 1965.
That places Bangladesh 72nd out of 77 countries with data for 2025, putting it in the bottom quarter.
The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.
