Angola Energy Use per Capita
Energy use per capita EG.USE.PCAP.KG.OE
Angola's energy use per capita was 431 in 2025, ranked 125th globally. This represents a 1.8% increase from 2024. Data from World Bank, covering 1990–2025.
Overview
Angola's energy use per capita stood at 431 in 2025, a rise of +8 from 2022. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 431 by 2025. Angola ranked 125th globally.
Angola’s energy use per capita measured in kilograms of oil equivalent has fallen from a high of 531.24 in 2012 to 430.88 in 2025, placing the country 125th in the world and slightly below peers such as the Democratic Republic of Congo (447.15) and Togo (438.13). The all‑time trough of 392.56 in 2005 marked the lowest point in the 34‑year series, after which consumption rose modestly before peaking again in the early 2010s. The recent decline reflects slower economic growth, limited expansion of electricity access, and relatively low industrialisation compared with Tanzania (403.74) and Sudan (398.12). Despite the downward trajectory, continued investment in renewable generation and improvements in grid infrastructure could stabilise or even lift per‑capita energy use, especially if oil‑price volatility eases and domestic manufacturing expands.
