About This Dataset

Countries by Electric Power Consumption Per Capita 2024

Countries ranked by electric power consumption per person in 2024, measured in kilowatt-hours (kWh) per capita according to IEA Energy Statistics. Iceland leads global per capita electricity consumption by a wide margin — with residents consuming over 50,000 kWh per person annually, more than ten times the global average, driven by abundant geothermal and hydroelectric power that makes electricity extraordinarily cheap and by the presence of energy-intensive aluminium smelters that process ore on behalf of global manufacturers.

Analysis

The top three in Electric Power Consumption Per Capita (kWh) in 2024 are Iceland (52,000), Norway (25,000) and Qatar (17,500). The 8 entries cover a range of 42,200, from 52,000 down to 9,800. Most of that gap is between first and second alone (27,000 of 42,200); the other 7 are separated by just 15,200. The other 6 are bunched between 9,800 and 17,500.
