World Countries Ranked by Electricity-Consumption Per Person

According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration’s International Energy Statistics, global electricity consumption is continuing to increase faster than the world population. Increases in electricity consumption per capita can reflect several things, including changes in the economy’s composition, shifts to energy-intensive industries, increased demand for appliances and air conditioning, and changes in service demand. Check out the very first visualization from SolarPower.guide below that reveals the countries with the highest electricity consumption per capita around the world.
