Definition & method
WDI publishes IEA energy statistics from national energy agencies, adjusted to international definitions. Net consumption accounts for electricity production, trade, losses and generating plants’ own use, then divides by midyear population.
Annual net electric power consumption across an economy, divided by its midyear population, in kilowatt-hours per person.
What to keep in mind
- This includes electricity across economic sectors; it is not household electricity consumption or an electricity bill.
- IEA source coverage and methods can change, producing breaks in time series. The source describes a different calculation convention for the United States.
- Consumption does not measure supply reliability, outages or electricity access.
- Missing years remain missing. An association with economic output does not establish causation.
