Definition & method

Select the retained long-format yearly CSV Country or economy / Electricity demand / Demand / Demand / TWh rows for 2000–2025 and registered ISO3 codes. Preserve decimals and original fields without rescaling, monthly aggregation or geography sums. Ember combines national/international sources, aims at gross generation and can use estimates or assumptions. Current publisher methodology was reviewed separately from the retained CSV vintage.

Annual electricity demand in terawatt-hours for one reporting country or economy, compiled by Ember from power production plus net imports. This is total electricity, not electricity use per person.

What to keep in mind

  • Total TWh differs from the existing WDI kWh/person metric; no population normalization was applied.
  • Original publisher release and acquisition dates are unknown. Review/extraction time is a separate event and must not replace either date.
  • The retained CSV predates the publisher download format update noted in July2026. It is not labeled current, latest or live.
  • This CSV has no row-specific quality flag or note; presence is not independent verification of an underlying source estimate.
  • Imports may be carried forward or assumed zero; latest annual figures can include estimates.
  • Annual/monthly coverage can differ, including captive generation; monthly sums need not reproduce annual figures.
  • Regional totals and 12 country/economy codes outside the current reporting register were excluded; absent country-year rows were not invented.
  • CC BY4.0 requires Ember attribution, the licence link and an indication of changes, without added legal/technological restrictions or implied endorsement. No Ember logo permission is claimed.
  • This operator-reviewed series is not enabled for cross-country comparison.
