List of countries by electricity consumption

This list of countries by electric energy consumption is mostly based on the Energy Information Administration.[2] Several non-sovereign entities are also included for information purposes, with their parent state noted. The per capita data for many countries may be slightly inaccurate as population data may not be for the same year as the consumption data. Population data were obtained mainly from the IMF[3] in 2021 with some exceptions, in which case they were obtained from the Wikipedia pages for the corresponding countries/territories. Average power per capita was calculated according to the formula:[a]

By 2025, Asia is projected to account for half of the world’s electricity consumption, with one-third of global electricity to be consumed in China.[1]
Electric energy per capita [ in watt-hour ] = Total population electricity consumption [in kW·h/yr] × 1,000 /population.
Electric power per capita [ in watt ] = Total population electricity consumption [in kW·h/yr] × 0.114077116 /population.
1 kW·h/yr = 1,000 Wh/(365.25 × 24) h = 0.11408 Watt
