Jun 28, 2024 · Electricity demand worldwide 2023, by leading country. China accounted for the largest electricity demand in 2023. The country required around 9,445 terawatt-hours, more than double the ...
Oct 5, 2022 · It analyses electricity data from 75 countries representing 90% of global electricity demand and includes projections for changes in the remaining countries. It compares the first six months of 2022 (H1-2022) to the same period in 2021 (H1-2021) to show how the electricity transition has progressed.
The IEA real-time electricity map displays electricity demand, generation and spot prices from more than 50 sources. Data is available historically, as well as daily or hourly, and at country or regional levels.

How much energy does the world consume?
The energy system has transformed dramatically since the Industrial Revolution. We see this transformation of the global energy supply in the interactive chart shown here. It graphs global energy consumption from 1800 onwards. It is based on historical estimates of primary energy consumption from Vaclav Smil, combined with updated figures from BP's Statistical Review of World Energy.1 Note that this data presents primary energy consumption via the “substitution method”. The substitution metho...
Demand for energy is growing across many countries in the world, as people get richer and populations increase. If this increased demand is not offset by improvements in energy efficiency elsewhere, then our global energy consumption will continue to grow year-on-year. Growing energy consumption makes the challenge of transitioning our energy syste...
Total energy consumption
How much energy do countries across the world consume? This interactive chart shows primary energy consumption country-by-country. It is the sum of total energy consumption, including electricity, transport, and heating. We look at electricity consumption individually later in this article. Note, again, that this is based on primary energy via the substitution method: this means nuclear and renewable energy technologies have been converted into their “primary input equivalents” if they had th...
When we look at total energy consumption, differences across countries often reflect differences in population size: countries with lots of people inevitably consume more energy than tiny countries. How do countries compare when we look at energy consumption per person? This interactive chart shows per capita energy consumption. We see vast differe...
Year-on-year change in primary energy consumption
Globally, primary energy consumption has increased nearly every year for at least half a century. But this is not the case everywhere in the world. Energy consumption is rising in many countries where incomes are rising quickly and the population is growing. But in many countries — particularly richer countries trying to improve energy efficiency — energy consumption is actually falling. This interactive chart shows the annual growth rate of energy consumption. Positive values indicate a coun...
Total electricity generation: how much electricity does each country generate?
We previously looked at total energy consumption. This is the sum of energy used for electricity, transport, and heating. Although the terms “electricity” and “energy” are often used interchangeably, it's important to understand that electricity is just one component of total energy consumption. Let's take a look at electricitydata. This interactive chart shows the amount of electricity generated by a country each year.
Per capita: which countries generate the most electricity?
Just as with total energy, comparisons of levels of electricity generation often reflect population size. It tells us nothing about how much electricity the average person in a given country consumes relative to another. This interactive chart shows per capitaelectricity generation per person. Again we see vast differences in electricity per person across the world. The largest producers — Iceland, Norway, Sweden, and Canada — generate hundreds of times as much electricity as the smallest. In...
This page focuses on total energy and electricity consumption, without digging into the details of where this energy comes from, and how sources are changing over time. In our pages on the Energy Mix and Electricity Mix, we look at full breakdowns of the energy system; how much of our energy comes from fossil fuels versus low-carbon sources; and wh...
