Algeria's energy use per capita was 1,541 in 2025, ranked 75th globally. This represents a 2.5% increase from 2024. Data from World Bank, covering 1990–2025.
Overview
Algeria's energy use per capita stood at 1,541 in 2025, a rise of +37 from 2023. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 1,541 by 2025. Algeria ranked 75th globally.
Algeria's energy use per capita has experienced a steady upward trajectory since 1996, when it reached an all-time low of 808.69 units. Over the subsequent three decades, the country has seen a significant increase, with the 2025 value standing at 1,540.57 units, ranking 75th globally. This growth has placed Algeria alongside its peers, with Armenia boasting a slightly higher value of 1,547.04 units. Notably, Algeria's energy use per capita surpassed its all-time peak in 2025, marking a notable milestone in the country's energy consumption pattern. The steady rise in energy use per capita is likely driven by Algeria's growing population and increasing economic activity, particularly in the energy sector. However, a shift towards renewable energy sources or a decline in global energy demand could potentially alter this trajectory, leading to a decrease in Algeria's energy use per capita in the coming years.
