List of countries by electricity consumption

This list of countries by electric energy consumption is mostly based on the Energy Information Administration.[1] Several non-sovereign entities are also included for informational purposes, with their parent state noted. The per capita data for many countries may be slightly inaccurate as population data may not be for the same year that the consumption data are. Population data were obtained mainly from the World Bank[2] in 2019 with some exceptions, in which case they were obtained from the Wikipedia pages for the corresponding countries/territories. Average power per capita was calculated according to the formula:[3]

Electric energy per capita [ in watt-hour ] = Total population electricity consumption [ in kW·h/yr ] * 1,000 /population.
Electric power per capita [ in watt ] = Total population electricity consumption [ in kW·h/yr ] * 0.114077116 /population.
1 kW·h/yr = 1,000 Wh/(365.25 x 24)h = 0.11408 Watt

Note that despite China having the greatest overall energy usage, this is not the case for energy use per person. Most of China's energy use is by industry. So that energy is embedded in products they export around the world.
