Hydropower consumption in oil equivalent: worldwide 1998-2017
Global hydropower consumption from 1998 to 2017 (in million metric tons of oil equivalent)
This statistic shows global hydropower consumption between 1998 and 2017. In 2017, hydropower consumption amounted to approximately 918.6 million metric tons of oil equivalent worldwide. According to the source, the data are based on gross primary hydroelectric generation and not accounting for cross-border electricity supply.

According to the source, the data are based on gross primary hydroelectric generation and not accounting for cross-border electricity supply. They were converted on the basis of thermal equivalence assuming 38 percent conversion efficiency in a modern thermal power station.
The values prior to 2007 were taken from previous publications.
