The Bahamas' National Energy Policy 2025-2030 focuses on increasing renewable energy, which is currently 2.5% of total electricity capacity. The country has 735 MW of installed capacity, mainly from imported fossil fuels, leading to high electricity rates.

The policy aims to diversify energy sources by promoting solar, wind, and biomass, while also introducing natural gas to lower costs. Key initiatives include smart grid implementation, energy efficiency programs, and workforce training for clean energy jobs. The government plans LNG infrastructure to reduce oil dependence and support national energy security, encouraging private sector investment to stabilize prices and improve access.
