GDP (current US$): It is the sum of gross value added by all resident producers in the economy plus any product taxes and minus any subsidies not included in the value of the products. It is calculated without making deductions for depreciation of fabricated assets or for depletion and degradation of natural resources.
4,597,855,845 (2023)
GDP Per Capita (current US$): It is gross domestic product divided by midyear population
3,797.30 (2023)
Access to Electricity (% of population): It is the percentage of population with access to electricity.
82.30 (2022)
Energy Imports Net (% of energy use): It is estimated as energy use less production, both measured in oil equivalents. A negative value indicates that the country is a net exporter. Energy use refers to use of primary energy before transformation to other end-use fuels, which is equal to indigenous production plus imports and stock changes, minus exports and fuels supplied to ships and aircraft engaged in international transport.
no data
Fossil Fuel Energy Consumption (% of total): It comprises coal, oil, petroleum, and natural gas products.

Key Problems of the Energy Sector
Power Africa states these issues as the biggest for the country's energy sector[1]:
- Lack of clarity in roles for procurement between the Swaziland Energy Regulatory Authority (SERA) and SEC
- Need for incentives to improve electricity service performance and system to track performance standards
- Historical reliance on power imports from South Africa
- Limited ability to provide credit enhancement
- Utility concerns about large scale integration of intermittent renewables
Policy Framework, Laws and Regulations
- Find an overview of the electrification investment scenarios (2025 and 2030) for Swaziland/Eswatini on the Global Electrification Platform (GEP).
- Find relevant information on the regulations and Swaziland/Eswatini's strategy in the energy sector on the homepage of the African Energy Portal.
Institutional Set up in the Energy Sector
Other Key Actors / Activities of Donors, Implementing Agencies, Civil Society Organisations
Further Information
