List of World Electricity Consumption
This list of world electricity consumption based on The World Factbook. In addition, the per capita data for many countries may be slightly inaccurate as population data may not be for the same year that the consumption data are.
Average power per capita was calculated according to the formula:
Power = Consumption·1,000,000/(365.25·24)/population, where power is in watts and consumption is in MW·h/yr.
