About: Countries by Total Electricity Consumption 2025
Overview of the data behind this chart
Countries ranked by total electricity consumption in 2025, measured in terawatt-hours according to IEA World Energy Outlook and EIA International Energy Statistics. China surpassed the United States as the world's largest electricity consumer around 2011 and has continued to extend its lead substantially — consuming nearly 9,800 TWh in 2025, more than double American consumption, driven by an industrial base that manufactures a majority of the world's electronics, steel, cement, and consumer goods, combined with rapidly growing residential demand as hundreds of millions of Chinese citizens upgrade to energy-intensive modern appliances, electric vehicles, and air conditioning in a climate that spans subtropical south to subarctic northeast.
