07Questions
Turks and Caicos Islands on energy: questions answered
Every answer is built from the numbers on this page, so none can say something the page does not.
How does Turks and Caicos Islands rank on energy?
Turks and Caicos Islands is placed 146th of 165 countries on Energy in the Country Index 2026, from 2 of its 3 key statistics (Carbon Intensity of Electricity and Renewable Share of Electricity Generation). The position is this site’s ordering of published statistics, not a rank any publisher printed.
What is the latest Carbon Intensity of Electricity figure for Turks and Caicos Islands?
637.04 in 2024 (carbon intensity (gCO₂e per kWh generated)), according to Ember. The world median in the same edition was 433.75.
What is the latest Renewable Share of Electricity Generation figure for Turks and Caicos Islands?
3.704 in 2024 (renewables (% of electricity generated)), according to Ember. The world median in the same edition was 32.06.
How have Turks and Caicos Islands’s energy figures changed?
Carbon Intensity of Electricity fell from 662.5 in 2000 to 637.04 in 2024; Renewable Share of Electricity Generation rose from 0 in 2000 to 3.704 in 2024.
Which energy statistics are missing for Turks and Caicos Islands?
No current reading is published for Turks and Caicos Islands on Energy Intensity of GDP (PPP), Firms Identifying Electricity as a Major Constraint, Firms Owning or Sharing a Generator, Operating Coal Power Capacity, Operating Wind Power Capacity, Primary Energy Consumption per Capita, RISE Clean Cooking Policy Score, RISE Electricity Access Policy Score, RISE Energy Efficiency Policy Score, RISE Renewable Energy Policy Score and World Energy Trilemma Index. They are listed rather than hidden, so the evidence on the page can be checked against it.
08Method
Method, sources and how to cite
What this topic does not measure
This is deliberately the electricity and energy-system subject, not an infrastructure one: roads, railways, ports, water and telecommunications would each need a global series this site does not hold. Emissions are under Environment & Sustainability. Access to electricity is published here in full but takes no part in any ranking — more than half the world’s countries now report 100%, and a position derived from that would read “1, 1, 1 … 123”, which is noise rather than information.
How the Energy standing is decided
A standing is this site’s ordering, named with its edition — never a publisher’s rank. 3 key statistics vote, one vote each; every country’s published value becomes a place within that key’s own field, the places are averaged, and the average is never published. A country needs 2 of the 3 keys to be placed.
