Data in this table are from Ember and are for 2023 unless otherwise specified. [1] Includes some dependent territories. Total consumption figures are in terawatt-hours while per-capita figures are in megawatt-hours. Links for each location go to the relevant electricity market page, when available.
The table lists 45 electricity-consuming countries, which used about 22,000 TWh. These countries comprise about 90% of the final consumption of 190+ countries. The final consumption to generate this electricity is provided for every country. The data is from 2022. [8] [12] In 2022, OECD's final electricity consumption was over 10,000 TWh. [3]
The amounts of fuel in the tables are based on lower heating value. The first table lists final consumption in the countries/regions which use most (85%), and per person as of 2018. In developing countries fuel consumption per person is low and more renewable. [27] Canada, Venezuela and Brazil generate most electricity with hydropower.
This is a list of countries by total primary energy consumption and production. 1 quadrillion BTU = 293 TW·h = 1.055 EJ 1 quadrillion BTU/yr = 1.055 EJ/yr = 293 TW·h/yr = 33.433 GW. The numbers below are for the total energy consumption or production in a whole year, so should be multiplied by 33.433 to get the average value in GW in that year.
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)
Electricity generation by source and country in 2023 [1] Annual world electricity net generation [2]. This is a list of countries and dependencies by annual electricity production.
eco: average power consumption per person in the United States in 2008 (87,216 kWh/year) 1.4 × 10 4 W tech: average power consumption of an electric car on EPA's Highway test schedule [25] [26] 1.45 × 10 4 W astro: power per square metre received from the Sun at Mercury's orbit at perihelion: 1.6–3.2 × 10 4 W
Consumption in 2023 was mostly for industry (33%) and transportation (30%), with use in homes (20%) and commercial buildings (17%) making up the remainder. [ 5 ] [ 6 ] The United States' portion of the electrical grid in North America had a nameplate capacity of 1,280 GW [ 7 ] and produced 4,029 TWh [ 8 ] in 2023, using 34% of primary energy to ...
