Published by Lucía Fernández, May 31, 2023
Per capita energy consumption averaged 20,993 kilowatt-hours worldwide in 2021. This was up from a pandemic induced slump the previous year, but still below pre-pandemic levels. Economic activity is among the main determinants for energy use, whereas energy efficiency measures may also help reduce the energy footprint. Qatar has the highest per capita energy consumption of any country worldwide.
