Montecara consumes about 14.35 billion kW·h of electricity per year.

Montecara is in the process of moving away from fossil fuels and toward sustainable energy but badly lags behind schedule in its goal, set in 2000, to achieve 100% renewable electricity by 2025. Less than ten percent of the electricity generated in Montecara comes from a renewable source, with the remaining more than ninety percent coming from oil and natural gas.

Nuclear power is a highly contentious political issue in Montecara. Montecara has been a nuclear-free zone since 1985 in response to plans by Comega to build a boiling water reactor.

Montecara must import all its fossil fuels and is therefore highly dependent on the flow of international shipping to supply its energy needs.
