Electricity consumption by continent [1] This is a list of countries by electric energy consumption. China is the largest producer and consumer of electricity, representing 55% of consumption in Asia and 31% of the world in 2023. [1]
Total energy consumption tends to increase by about 1–2% per year. [5] More recently, renewable energy has been growing rapidly, averaging about 20% increase per year in the 2010s. [6] [7] Two key problems with energy production and consumption are greenhouse gas emissions and environmental pollution.
The data are given in kilograms of oil equivalent per year, and gigajoules per year, and in watts, as average equivalent power. Notes on conversions. 1 kg of oil equivalent (kgoe) = 11.63 kWh or 1 kWh = 0.08598 kgoe [2] 1000 kgoe = 42 GJ; 1 GJ/a = 31.7 W average; 1 W average = 8.76 kWh per year (365 × 24 Wh per year)
US per Capita Consumption kWh/yr. Electricity consumption per person (per capita) is based upon data mined from US DOE Energy Information Administration/Electric Power Annual 2022 files [34] Population [35] data is from Demographics of the United States. Per capita consumption in 2022 is 12,809 kWh.
From its founding until the late 19th century, population and energy use in the United States both increased by about 3% per year, [10] [11] resulting in a relatively constant per capita energy use of 100 million BTU. Wood made up the majority of this until near the end of the 1800s, meaning the average American burned eight tons of wood each ...
This is a list of countries and dependencies by annual electricity production. China is the world's largest electricity producing country, followed by the United States and India. Data are for the year 2023 and are sourced from Ember unless otherwise specified. [1] Links for each location go to the relevant electricity market page, when available.
The world's average was about 3 MWh/year in 2022. [8] ... [12] [14] [15] Productivity per electricity generation (concept similar to energy intensity) can be measured ...
As of 2021 California's electricity costs were 19.7 cents per kWh. [18] Due to high electricity demand, and lack of local power plants, California imports more electricity than any other state, [19] (32% of its consumption in 2018 [1]) primarily wind and hydroelectric power from states in the Pacific Northwest (via Path 15 and Path 66) and ...
