Liechtenstein’s energy mix heavily relies on imports (over 90% of total energy) to meet demand, with a strong focus on renewable electricity—primarily hydropower—for domestic production. While local generation is 100% renewable (hydro and solar), overall consumption includes significant imported nuclear and fossil fuels. The nation aims for 100% renewable energy by 2050. Domestic Production is dominated by hydropower (over 90% of local generation), followed by increasing solar PV contributions. The vast majority of energy consumed is imported, including electricity from the European grid, which historically includes nuclear and fossil fuel sources.

Liechtenstein’s “Energy Vision 2050” aims for a 40% reduction in energy demand and 100% renewable energy usage, focusing on increasing domestic solar capacity and reducing dependence on fossil fuel imports.

Liechtenstein is positioning itself for a sustainable, carbon-neutral future by focusing on green hydrogen produced from renewable energy sources. Green hydrogen is expected to play a critical role in reducing carbon emissions in industrial sectors (such as metal processing) and heavy transport, which are traditionally difficult to electrify.

As of 2026 there is no information indicating that Liechtenstein is actually producing green hydrogen.
