Reading the data
Compare national electricity demand in TWh
This page ranks countries by the latest available electricity demand and compares total power demand with per-person use and annual change.
How to read it
Total demand shows electricity market size, while per-person demand makes countries of different population sizes easier to compare. The annual change column compares total demand with the previous available year.
What this page shows
- Total electricity demand in terawatt-hours (TWh)
- Per-person electricity demand in kWh/person
- Country name, ISO code, continent, reference year, and public source
Data basis
Electricity demand and per-capita demand are sourced from Our World in Data grapher datasets based on Ember yearly electricity data.
Reference years differ by country because the latest available country rows are used.

How to read electricity demand
Total demand shows the national electricity market size in TWh. Per-person demand divides that total by population, so small high-income economies can rank high per person even when total demand is modest. The change column compares total demand with the previous available year.
