Primary Energy Consumption by Country

Total use, per-person use, GDP intensity, and recent changes
Reading the data

Compare primary energy consumption across several measures

This page shows country primary energy consumption: the energy a country uses before it is converted into electricity, gasoline, heat, or other final forms. It compares total use, use per person, energy use per GDP, annual change, and five-year change.

How to read it

Read this as the size of the energy input going into a country's whole economy. It includes sources such as coal, oil, gas, nuclear, hydropower, wind, solar, and other renewables after they are converted to the same energy unit. It is not household electricity use and it is not only the fuel people buy directly.

What this page shows
  • Latest primary energy consumption by country in TWh
  • Energy use per person, energy use per GDP, annual change, and five-year change
  • Sorting by total consumption, per-person use, GDP intensity, change rates, and country name
Data basis

Energy data uses the Our World in Data Energy dataset, with GDP and population references joined from World Bank indicators where available.

Primary energy is an upstream measure. Because power plants, refineries, boilers, and engines lose energy during conversion, it differs from final energy consumption and from electricity consumption.

Latest energy year 2024
Total consumption 175.6 thousand TWh
Top total use China
Top per person Qatar

How to read primary energy

Primary energy is the energy counted near the source, before it becomes the electricity from an outlet, the gasoline in a car, industrial heat, or other energy that users finally consume.

A simple way to read it: coal burned in a power plant, crude oil refined into fuel, natural gas used for heating or power generation, nuclear heat, hydro, solar, and wind are all counted as energy input and converted into TWh for comparison.

So this table is closer to “how much energy the country's entire energy system takes in” than “how much final energy consumers directly use.” Total TWh shows system scale, per-person kWh adjusts for population, and kWh per dollar of GDP shows energy intensity.

Primary energy is measured before conversion losses, so it can be larger than final energy use and is not the same as electricity consumption.

Annual change uses OWID energy_cons_change_pct where available; five-year change is calculated from the latest TWh value and the closest value at least five years earlier.
