What does total demand show?
It captures the absolute scale of a national grid and economic activity. Large economies and populous countries tend to rank high.

Electricity consumption by country
Compare country-level electricity demand, per-capita demand, and year-over-year change.
Core concept
How to compare electricity consumption by country
Country electricity demand is clearer when grid scale, industrial activity, and population-adjusted intensity are read together.
Total electricity demand shows how much power a country uses in a year, measured in TWh. Large populations and manufacturing-heavy economies can make total demand high, so country scale matters.
Per-capita electricity demand adjusts for population size. A country with lower total demand can still show high electricity intensity because of climate, income, industrial structure, or electrification.
Year-over-year change is useful for short-term movement. High growth can reflect industrial recovery, electrification, weather effects, or source-year differences.
Why use per-capita demand?
It reduces population-size bias and helps compare electricity intensity across households and industries.
How should change rate be read?
Year-over-year movement shows short-term shifts, but source coverage and latest-year differences should be checked.
How is country comparison used?
This page keeps electricity demand as a standalone dataset and compares country rows in one sortable table.
This dataset is a country-level electricity demand source for reading total and per-capita values together.
