Electricity use per capita
Tier A· OfficialDescriptiveElectricity consumed per person per year. Descriptive — high use reflects both development and energy demand.
100 = highest electricity use per capita, 0 = lowest — descriptive, not better or worse
Mixed reference years (2022–2024). This metric uses each country's most recent available year, so countries are not all measured in the same year — cross-country comparison is weakened. Each row shows its own reference year.
How this score is built
Electric power consumption per capita, in kWh — World Bank indicator EG.USE.ELEC.KH.PC (IEA). Descriptive: high consumption reflects industrial development and living standards *and* energy demand — neither simply good nor bad — so it uses a neutral colour and is off the radar. Use spans orders of magnitude, so we normalize on a log scale. Reference year varies by country (this series is not updated for every recent year).
