How much electricity is consumed in a country in a year.
The ranking uses the latest available value for each country — the year is shown in the row. The table spans 2009 to 2025.
Top-20 · terawatt-hours
The scale does not start at zero — the values lie in a narrow range, and starting from zero the bars would be indistinguishable. The axis ticks are labeled.

Electricity consumption inside a country over the year: generation plus imports, minus exports and losses. The difference from generation can be decisive: a country may consume noticeably more than it produces if it buys electricity from its neighbors — that is how Italy and a dozen small European states live. The reverse case is exporters such as Paraguay, whose generation is a multiple of its own demand.
Important: Demand is lower than generation by the amount of network losses and the plants' own use, but higher than generation in importing countries. The series starts in 2000.
How much electricity a country generates in a year.
Electricity 2000–2025 Electricity consumption per capitaHow much electricity there is per resident of a country each year.
Electricity 2000–2025 Net electricity importsHow much electricity a country buys from its neighbors beyond what it sells.
Electricity 1960–2024 Transmission and distribution lossesWhat share of the electricity generated is lost on the way to the consumer.
