Electricity Consumption by Country

Electricity consumption by country measures how much electricity is used in each country, expressed in billion kilowatt-hours (BkWh) per year. The figures cover electricity used across households, businesses, industry and other users. The statistics are based on the U.S. Energy Information Administration's (EIA) International Energy Statistics. The table covers 215 countries, with 213 reported 2024 values, and includes data from 2019 to 2024. The world total stood at 28,533.57 BkWh in 2024, up from 27,459.60 BkWh in 2023.

China accounted for about 34.3% of the world total in 2024. China and the United States together represented about 49.0%, while the top three reached 55.2%, the top five 61.9%, and the top ten 71.2%.

Change from 2023 to 2024

China recorded the largest increase in absolute terms, rising from 9,140.77 to 9,793.70 BkWh (+652.93 BkWh, about 7.1%). The world total rose from 27,459.60 to 28,533.57 BkWh (+1,073.97 BkWh, about 3.9%), with China responsible for about 61% of the increase. Japan recorded the largest decline among countries with values reported in both years, falling from 916.49 to 858.56 BkWh (-57.93 BkWh, about 6.3%).

How consumption changed across major consumers

Electricity use increased in China, India and the United States, with China posting the strongest gain among the five largest consumers. Russia was virtually unchanged, while Japan saw a notable decline of 6.3%. Outside the top five, Brazil increased by 4.4%, whereas South Korea and France recorded smaller declines.

2019 to 2024 in this series

World consumption was 24,494.83 BkWh in 2019 and remained almost unchanged in 2020 at 24,514.43 BkWh. It then increased to 25,825.70 BkWh in 2021, 26,446.59 BkWh in 2022, 27,459.60 BkWh in 2023 and 28,533.57 BkWh in 2024. The 2024 total was about 16.5% above the 2019 level.

Electricity consumption in context

Worldwide consumption was lower than generation in 2024 (28,533.57 versus 30,664.34 BkWh). The difference reflects electricity losses and other differences between reported generation, electricity trade and consumption. China consumed 9,793.70 BkWh compared with 10,161.50 BkWh generated, while the United States consumed 4,194.34 BkWh compared with 4,392.55 BkWh generated. At country level, imports and exports can also make consumption higher or lower than domestic generation.

Methodology

The statistics are based on the U.S. Energy Information Administration's (EIA) International Energy Statistics. Values represent annual electricity consumption in billion kilowatt-hours (BkWh). Where no value is available, the cell is left empty. A value of 0 indicates that the source reports zero. The sum of the countries listed on this page may not equal the reported world total because the country-level data presented here do not necessarily represent the complete set of values used for the world total. This page covers electricity consumption only; generation, imports, exports, net imports, capacity and distribution losses are reported separately in the source.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which countries consume the most electricity?

China (9,793.70 BkWh) and the United States (4,194.34 BkWh) reported the largest 2024 values, followed by India (1,757.57 BkWh), Russia (1,045.21 BkWh) and Japan (858.56 BkWh).

How much did world electricity consumption increase in 2024?

World electricity consumption increased from 27,459.60 to 28,533.57 BkWh, a gain of 1,073.97 BkWh or about 3.9%. China contributed about 61% of the increase.

Is consumption lower than generation?

Yes. World electricity consumption was 28,533.57 BkWh in 2024, compared with 30,664.34 BkWh of generation. The difference reflects electricity losses and other differences between reported generation, electricity trade and consumption.

How should empty cells be read?

Empty means no reported value in the source. It is different from 0, which means the source reports zero.
